I used to keep crayfish, lobster if you like, in an aerated and refrigerated tank to sell from my airport shop. If there were too many crays in the tank, or the water temperature was too high then the crays would start to eat each other.
And so it is in parts of General Aviation which has been artificially separated with some areas administered by monopoly corporations, like RAAUS and the GFA, which automatically creates competition, inefficiencies and unnecessary expenses. All of the making by CASA and its employees who seem oblivious to the consequences of it’s failed policies and the regulatory mess that it has created.
Imagine the same set up on our roads. You’d have to buy membership from one RAAUS type corporate to drive a private car, another to drive truck and another a motorcycle and each variety with it’s own set of rules. Its hard to believe that otherwise intelligent people can support such a foolish way of regulating Australia’s aviation.

In short, our regulations should be one graduated set, as in the most successful jurisdiction for GA, that of the USA, administered by a Department under a responsible Minister which is the correct and only proven method.
