Mr. Truss has an appointment with the press club in Canberra on Wednesday at 12..30 PM. These are normally broadcast on ABC-24.
The following is from the Press Club site: Speakers The Hon Warren Truss MP http://www.npc.org.au/assets/images/...en%20Truss.jpgDeputy Prime Minister April 30, 2014 Arrive from 11.30am, lunch 12 noon, speaker 12.30 concludes 1.30pm 'Address to the National Press Club' The Hon. Warren Truss MP is Deputy Prime Minister of Australia and the Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development.

A third generation farmer from the Kumbia district near Kingaroy in Queensland, Mr Truss first won the federal seat of Wide Bay in 1990. He was a Minister in the Howard Government for 10 years, serving as Minister for Customs and Consumer Affairs in October 1997, and a year later, Minister for Community Services.

Get the press club to ask him;
A) When will he get his teeth fixed, B) When will he get his skin fixed, C) When will he honour some of his aviation promises, D) When will he get rid of Beaker, MrDak and other select executive managers of the ATSB and CASA, and restructure both organisations and finally address our decades old safety decline because at the current rate we are going to end up with something really nasty occurring. |
The Minister will not speculate on the outcome of the review, period. If there has been a preliminary report by then he will say he and his Department havn't had time to study it.
When the review is completed, the Government will say that overall CASA is going down the right track however there are areas where improvements could be made and he is advised that these will be addressed in the fullness of time. Golf claps all round and CASA continues on its merry way and proceed to wreak its vengeance on anyone identified by the review as critical of it. ....or some junior at PM & C is told to quietly fix the mess by dismembering CASA. If the latter does not happen, your only alternative is civil disobedience or a general strike. |
What a waste of an opportunity Minister Truss
An hour went by and it took over 20 minutes until Truss even mentioned Badgery's Creek, but then more as a "big road" and an advantage to jobs after completion compared to roads.
Then nothing more. |
Truss has some issues. Heads of ATSB and AMSA leaving together with his aviation policy advisor (x-labor ) plus McCormick .

Cone of silence?
Truss has some issues. Heads of ATSB and AMSA leaving together with his aviation policy advisor (x-labor ) plus McCormick . • Maybe they were heading out for a game of nude Twister? (Did anybody spot a Twister mat and 12 litres of baby oil?) • Perhaps they were off to belt a Xenophon pińata? • Maybe they were having private 'safety' training? 'Safety' is a word they may have never heard of before. • Maybe their tutor, Beaker, was awaiting them and was going to give them some budget and accounting training? Gotta watch those pots of money. • Perhaps they are secret members of The Bilderberg Group and were meeting covertly to plan their next folly? |
Once again aviation will be left to survive on its own despite the obvious. :rolleyes:
Time for a meeting with my local member :hmm: |
an industry wide strike against CASA...

ultra:
an industry wide strike against CASA... The general public know SFA about GA. They have an attention span of about Two minutes. There needs to be a very simple and easily understood message about what is happening, why its happening and what we want. Its called a sound bite, and we will need quite a few of them. Here is my modest example: "How would you like it if a policeman (insert injustice) and took away your job because of it? Well that is what aircraft pilots face every day....... |
