Senate heavies CASA
The makeup of the new RRAT is proving to be quite aggressive, as far as CASA and ATSB are concerned ---- will it make any difference ----- with this Minister??
At least it is better than the RRAT not being there.
Tootle pip!!

A few more details of the Committees findings in this link, for those who don’t have the inclination to listen to the full enquiry:
ATSB escapes RRAT Hearing with No Recommendations - Australian Flying

It's a testament to the efforts of Ben Morgan at AOPA, amongst others. Can I encourage GA businesses to please join AOPA and support the advocacy efforts driven by a strong committee of experienced GA volunteers.
Hummm. The ATSB get off virtually scot free, although there were dubious statistics and glaring omissions regarding pilot qualification and behaviour and CASA get it in the neck from an inquiry that wasn’t even about them??? Hard to take anything too seriously in any of that!
The ATSB treatment of "statistics" was a complete nonsense, as were certain subsequent statements emanating from CASA.
You simply cannot draw statistical conclusions from just two accidents over a longish period of time.
What has happened to Angel Flight reveals personal prejudices of some in ATSB and CASA, and little more.
Tootle pip!!

Might I suggest you tally up all the various inquiries into CASA from Parliamentary committees through to Royal Commission, over the years, including the longest ever Parliamentary inquiry since federation in 1901, over 300 sitting days (ended 1996) ---- and what long term difference has it made to the "Iron Ring" or what was known in DCA days as the Airstapo, to the benefit of aviation, ALL aviation, not just GA ????
Tootle pip!!
If you think those in CAsA pay any heed to comments from RRATs etc, then you are sadly mistaken.

On now (1532 ESST).
Neither the government nor the opposition is supporting the motion. F*ck.
Defeated. 12 ayes and 29 nos.
The Laborials showing leadership as usual.
Vomit.

That is probably the only practical solution. Unfortunately, most of the people who whinge about CASA will nonetheless continue to vote for one of the major parties in the duopoly, who have happily abdicated responsibility to CASA on a bi-partisan basis.
To paraphrase H. L. Mencken, people keeping voting for these people and deserve to continue to suffer the consequences, good and hard.
