Do Nothing Darren
Folks,
I don't know much about the new Minister, so I have been doing a bit of homework.
First up, was the nickname "do nothing Darren", is this deserved?? Have we replaced Action Man Truss with another Ball of Fire who will sort aviation, or another "new" conductor playing the Aviation Funeral March??
An instant captive of the "mystique of aviation safety"???
He has been described in the local meeja as "The George Clooney of Gippsland", is this fair to Gippsland??
Do you get any impression that he even knows aviation, let alone GA, exists?? All his early speeches and media releases are not promising, have any of them even mentioned aviation, as opposed to railways, ships and roads, and roads and ship and railways, then ships, roads and railways.??
Tootle pip!!

Do Nothing Darren
Darren does not seem to have the background or experience to question what he is told or be able to test that advice.
I do not expect anything positive to come out of this appointment.

The new Minister will no doubt operate in the best traditions of John Anderson and Warren Truss!

He seems to be happy being flown around in a Piper Twin.

One of a few photos of him discovering the benefits and joys of GA.
If his pilot could have a frank discussion with him wrt the state of GA in Australia there may be the slightest glimmer of hope.

There seems to be some Baron in there as well.
