The biggest risk to Aviation in Australia, is the Minister - begone you **** !!
Kevin 07 - Gone by 11 - I'm there. |
The Regulated don't benefit from being regulated - it's the population at large, who should, by and large, pay! |
Don't think the libs will reverse it, they need to pluck some money from somewhere to pay for this damn mess labor put us in.
IMO Rudd should be thrown in jail for irresponsible spending. If it were members of the public sector who blew this dough there would be a royal commission. |
Desperate people do desperate things. This Govt is sending the Australian economy into a spiral dive. They will grab at anything which offers sure funding.......avgas is only one. Aviation is an easy target. Always will be. I reckon the paid consortium McCormick brought up that is trying to get rid of GA is within CASA itself. |
don't forget that the 0.7c per litre will also probably attract GST, making it 0.77c per litre.
the other thing that amazes me is that $90 million is going to be used to fund 97 extra CASA positions. Now correct me if I am wrong, but that is $927,835 PER EXTRA EMPLOYEE!!!! how much are these clowns at CASA really worth? |
AAAhh Mr Apache,
and the F.S. that was gotten rid of waaay baack was supposed to have cost $80Million p.a.........according to one Mr Mike Smith, the ASA spokesperson, when it was first mooted to get rid of F.S. Subsequent 'challenges' reduced this figure somewhat, but the exaggeration remained. Who would honestly know ?? So how can ANY of these 'estimates' be believed!! More spin...more spin....like a washing machine.....just goes 'round n 'round.....:ugh::ugh: |
Part of that 97mil is without doubt to ensure there are no ASIC holders airside having a drink after all the aircraft are safely hangared.
After all we're from the guvmint we're here to make sure you're safe from yourselves:= When the fuel excise was lifted on avgas in the interests of user pays, avgas became cheaper than mogas, hurrah, until the fuel companies discovered they had to increase prices to make ends meet....... and the guvmint decided to introduce just a teensy 1c/ltr I think tax to fund something or other, which our friend Albanese has latched on to. Meantime we all got slugged with the user pays terminal/sector fees which are still with us and steadily increasing. It's no good bleating about it on this forum the only way is to have some concentrated response. Join AOPA or some other outfit whose members use avgas and let your membership dues support some argument that the pollies might listen to:ok: |
Bearing in mind less and less places away from the capital cities are supplying Avgas, how do they propose to collect this tax? Is there a levy on Jet A1?
So, more taxes on us greedy overseas owned fat cat limited-resources-depleting GA companies. What a great idea. I seem to recall Beasley having a similar idea. A super dooper tax on the airport leaseholders would be nice though. Can it be arranged for Rudd do a Harold Holt and just disappear? |
Can it be arranged for Rudd do a Harold Holt and just disappear? Sounds like a great slogan to me... |
I get the feeling Albanese is trying to make GA disappear. Class D and E works a hell of a lot better when there's no G and A.

Quote: he said "GA represents a "huge" risk to aviation safety/ security. Wonder what that's about ? Maybe he realised we all had very accurate GPS systems and your scaring him with GPS buzz bombs has got him very nervous.:E |
Where is AOPA and Dick S. on this?? They should be on the airwaves and newspapers.
The insidious creep of costs even a cent at a time can be ruinous. We just gave $400m to Africa so Rudd can get elected to some UN deal. Charity begins at home. Don't forget the largest groups [by numbers] of aircraft and pilots are NOT even over-sighted by CASA...RAAus/GFA/AWAL/PFA... Remember Rudd is Whitlam's love child. The country may not fully recover from his economic and socialist vandalism.... |
Don't do it Frank!:ouch:
|
Nice to see the inflammatory language has gone from "Intolerable risk" to just "huge". Thank god for JMac's Class D taxi calls! We are so much safer now.

The wheels have fallen off
Frank,
I love this statement – As an aside he said "GA represents a "huge" risk to aviation safety security. Interesting how the focus within CASA when it comes to safety oversight is larger passenger operations in the big playground. They don’t look at cargo operators (some very large aircraft shooting around Australia on a daily and nightly basis). They don’t look at cabin crew issues – only 2 Inspectors for all of Australia ( less than any other regulated country), minimal attention to dangerous goods( a mere 3 Inspectors for all of Australia which is less than any other regulated country), they don’t look at the larger GA type aircraft in use, they don’t look at the escalation in ground operations incidents and accidents and CASA don’t comply with FAA or ICAO findings until at least 2 years later when the hammer is about to fall on them ! This is managed by an inept board of buearacrats with plenty of public service experience but next to no experience in aviation. In fact board member Allan Hawke just copped a caning for performing 30 days work with a bill of 175k in another public service area. What does that tell the smart people out there in aviation land?? And this comes atop of an organization preaching risk based oversight and claiming GA is at the bottom of the risk pile! Certainly seems like the Minister and Fort Fumble are operating on different wave lengths. Now that is what I would define as being aviation risk. Frank, as for your question Has anybody asked what planet this "Minister" comes from? It is quite obvious that Albanese is just another politician in charge of a portfolio that he has no understanding of. So I guess yes, he is guilty of that, but then again, aren’t they all?? But Planet Uranus is the likely answer to your question. Hugh Jarse – I can't think of anything that rhymes with Albanese, except "I'm a sleazy The Chaser – This will result in the aviation fuel excise rate increasing from 2.854 cents per litre to 3.556 cents per litre, an increase of 0.702 cents per litre Within this funding strategy, additional revenue of $89.9m is forecast to be generated by the increase in the aviation fuel excise rate over the budget and three forward estimate years, based upon projected volumes of collection. CASA will use this additional revenue to fund 97 permanent positions for safety specialists, safety analysts and airworthiness inspectors and other staff, allowing CASA to expand its surveillance activities and fulfill its increasingly complex regulatory responsibilities |
I doubt any of them can spell AOC or CAO.:(

Greens, |
Nah Pinks, sorry I haven't.....
Did I miss something..?? Do they really eat sushi in 'that place'..??:p:p |
Griffo;If memory serves correctly, the Geens policy on aviation as a whole is that it must be `environmentally sustainable.` I leave you to draw your own conclusions as to a Greens party meaning of that statement.
There is a great Sushi place about 10 minutes walk from where I currently sit!:ok: |
gobbledock
Safety Specialists you say?? No, I didn't say, the quote was from the from the CASA site link I provided :hmm: I agree 100% with your comments though :ok: |
