Posted on behalf of Sandy:-
Dear GA proponents and colleagues,
Not again. I think we say we will resend all our previous submissions but that the only difference in the last five years is that our forecast loss of pilots and General Aviation businesses is being born out. Otherwise we do not support another inquiry in the absence of a plan of immediate reforms.
Inquiry repetition is the never ending modus operandi of Government Industries and this latest iteration will barely cause a ripple of concern in Aviation Hearse, oops, typo, Aviation House.
Two years of inquiry? Truly this is soul destroying, sorry Susan and Rex, your heart is in the right place but the inquires have all been done.
Members of Parliament who can see that by handing over the totality of power to unelected bureaucrats is wrong must demand change. MPs duty is to protect our freedoms, freedoms badly eroded since the handover to the independent regulator CASA. It is a wrong model of governance that does not work. Furthermore the Nation’s prosperity has suffered by this loss of freedom. Our loss of freedom, causing huge losses of businesses, jobs and services, has been enacted (for the most part unquestioningly, nod to Susan & Rex) by Parliament at the behest of the out of control regulator.
In 2014 the Aviation Safety Regulation Review was the most high powered review in some years and we were invited to submit contributing papers. It cost $millions in GA industry time and money and in taxpayer funds. We, in the main General Aviation industry personnel, spent probably some thousands of hours writing our opinions, experiences and suggestions to assist the Parliament to reform a glaringly underperforming sector, a sector in obvious decline.
The trajectory of decline has, if anything steepened since that time.
To all who have any interest in the legitimate exercise of our freedom of action to advance aviation in Australia, to allow the making of jobs and services, we must promote and insist upon change now, not in two years time.
In particular flying training must be unshackled by allowing independent instructors the same freedom to teach as in the USA. CASA must be brought under Parliamentary control, it’s regulatory function is a function of the government not of unelected functionaries whose main concern has to be their own position by human nature. Remove ASICs and reform LAME education, medicals. Reassign most of the rules out of the criminal code back to the previous appropriate classification, I think civil misdemeanours.
Its obvious what needs action now.
