New movement for #aviation New England by-election
New England by-election
Found this material today. Barnaby Joyce has a worthy adversary who is putting aviation front and centre. We should forget about politics in this and get behind the principle of what aviation needs and get it in front of as many Journo's that we can. An opportunity for change and proper publicity Ian Britza enters fray for by-election in New England |
Yes, but has he used legal process to renounce any other citizenships?

Yeah Kaz, but unfortunately North Korea just made him an honorary citizen,
Non renounceable unfortunately, because an insult like that would attract a nuke to his outdoor dunny. |
Wow!...
Australian Country Party candidate for New England Ian Britza, has today announced a policy statement calling for a full review into the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.Mr Britza said ‘Its just not on that so much red tape can be put in front of our aviation clubs and businesses. This could have a long term affect on general aviation in this Country, something needs to be done.” Details of the statement are: The Aviation industry is in serious decline because of unnecessary regulation. Australia is witnessing pilots and businesses exiting the industry in increasing numbers. Because of this decline there will be serious consequences including employment and infrastructure losses, reducing aviation services in Australia. Allowing the decline to continue could see the end of aviation in Australia. The Australian Country Party advocates for a full investigation and review of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) that would look at over-regulation, allegations of collusion and process stalling and management of the authority which is responsible for major failings in it’s policies and regulation of the aviation industry. Unnecessary policy and regulation are now crippling flying clubs and small businesses, evidenced with aircraft registrations down 53% and general aviation pilots down 34% in the last 10 years. Flying clubs provide a starting point for people learning to fly and often the first step towards commercial flying, but over-regulation is forcing these clubs and airfields out of business where only multi-national companies would be able to sustain the increasing regulation requirements. This could eventually force all pilot training offshore. Over regulation includes the following areas just to name a few: 1.Aviation Medical requirements 2. Air Operator Certificate regulation and compliance 3.Flight school regulation and compliance 4. Aircraft maintenance regulation and compliance Adopting the United States or New Zealand approach is a step in the right direction.

1 independent in 1 electorate does not an inquiry into CASA make.
Like One Nation, Palmer United, and countless other small parties and independents, making political promises is relatively risk-free..................because the reality is that they are unlikely to ever have to deliver. I don't doubt Mr Britza is well intentioned, and probably quite sincere in his desire to have an independent inquiry into CASA, but even if elected he will be a lone voice in the wilderness. Unless the major parties (at least one, but preferably both) want something to happen, it won't happen. Sad but true. |
There is no doubt Mr Britza will not get elected,but that doesn't matter anyway. The fact he is banging on about what we have all been saying for years is a good thing and can't hurt in the campaign to get some reform of CASA and the onerous costs in doing business or private flying in Australia.

What say you, Dick? |

No argument there mostlytossas. However, I wonder just what influence would be added to this campaign if Dick Smith came out in support.:hmm:

The whole citizenship was to remove ONE person from one nation but it back fired. But that person was removed because he was asking tghe questions the others should have been asking |
all of you miss the point. the current government (had) a ONE seat majority. what that means is that the loss of a seat to an aviation minded independent IS A BIG DEAL. Why? Because two or three like that could hold the balance of power and if their price for support is aviation regulation reform, then CASA will be dismembered in a flash.

the alternative to running a candidate is to run an aviation lobby group targeting only marginal seats and running negative campaigns. what the promise is to government is that if our demands are not met then we will run advertising campaigns against your most marginal candidates. with 40+ marginals and a razor thin majority, no government can ignore a threat like that. this technique was perfected by the Israel lobby in the USA. It is devastatingly effective.

I reckon he'll do his deposit.
Very angry electorate in New England, but not angry at the Government. As far as aviation reform goes.... No one cares guys. Joe public has lots of options to fly out of the region and that's all they get excited about. |
