Australian Aviation Forum
Sunny:
and
Such an attempt has been tried before, viz AUSAC (Australian Aviation Council) that was formed in 2003 to uniformly coordinate the policy requirements of all sub sectors of the national air transport industry. Unfortunately, this initiative failed due to a lack of commitment from the various associations towards the funding of AUSAC or to its policy development.
There is now a new body formed called the Australian Aviation Forum that has similar objectives to AUSAC. At the moment, this body is yet to establish a website but has already produced a detailed policy statement to the government on what is required to regenerate aviation in Australia. Do a web search on the AAF and you will get a number of returns, but more detail on the AAF can be found on the link below:New Australian Aviation Forum speaks out – aviationadvertiser.com.au
I hope that helps.
I would like to suggest what I hope is a novel solution to this situation
I believe there is one approach that will work and, unless I am mistaken, hasn't been attempted before - direct coordinated political action

AAAF
See if I can find some more on these guys. Pretty quiet over the last three years.
I think they got Albo to show up.
GENERAL AVIATION
I know that a number of you here today represent the non-commercial general aviation sector.
You have a rich history in this country and you perform an essential role providing services such as charter flights, search and rescue, surveying and aerial photography, aeromedical services and pilot training.
I am also conscious that the general aviation sector is often a starting point for many pilots and maintenance engineers who go on to work in the commercial sector, taking with them invaluable skills and experience.
You also encompass private and recreational flying which is on the increase.
Private flying makes up 13 per cent of overall general aviation activity.
Private aircraft flew some 240,000 hours in 2009, a 4.9 per cent rise on the previous year.
Along with training aircraft, private flying was the only category of general aviation to record an increase.
General aviation is a big contributor to the economy – contributing about $280 million in GDP and employing almost 3,000 people.
Warm and fuzzy yet?

I'm not sure about direct political action, but I would be in favour of a direct civil disobedience. (To a point).
Enough money would be expended that would make Senate supply a political relevance. (but then again, I've got nothing to loose by their prosecutions).
The thought of on going and broken transponders and CTR incursions would make a lot of people flying BBJ's very nervous. You can't legislate against stupidity no matter how many pages are written.
