Oh, brother – where art thou?
Flat out refuse to be party to this load of GWEP Cobblers; nope, not going to waste any more time and energy other than the following. With the rider that if anyone believes this twaddle -well, help will always be available at Hogwarts – your ticket will be delivered by Owl shortly.
"General Aviation (GA) is uniquely positioned to implement some of the innovative changes the aviation sector needs to modernise," the white paper states. "By designing, testing and manufacturing new aviation technologies, GA will improve productivity, safety and connectivity, contributing to the decarbonisation of the aviation sector."
SO, let me get this straight. GA must - unassisted– design, test and manufacture etc. Oh Aye – with what? Where does this half baked notion spring from? Perhaps there's a qreat long waiting list of 'venture capitalists' just salivating to be part of the great design, testing (approval process) and manufacturing push to exist in a carbon neutral fart bubble. BOLLOCKS...Will the government supply the first tranche of money to get the ball rolling – BOLLOCKS they will. GA is almost bankrupt – thanks to the government and the outrageous fees levied for their stellar expensive, non productive 'services to industry'.
“We still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry and grasping at the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised to furnish new pretenses for revenue and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without a tribute.”
Wouldn't it be nice if 'government' actually got a grip? The pitifully small carbon footprint produced by GA pales into insignificance when compared to the real villains of piece. Solar panel set to be toxic land fill when time expired; imported by the ship load; not even made here. Massive blocks of high load concrete supporting huge eyesore windmill which have an expiry date to be replaced; millions of square acres of bush destroyed to house these noisy part time 'atmosphere friendly' monstrosities. The only good thing about them all is 'someone;' is making a shed load of money while the 'bubble' is still floating. Yet the sane, sensible, profitable solution lays wasted under Australia's native soils. While the wiser, wider world is switching to nuclear: but no matter eh? The GA self funded contribution will certainly have a massive impact; no doubt about it. - What a load of clap-trap. End of ramble......Almost.
“I ain't grouchy,” Teft snapped. “I just have a low threshold for stupidity.”
This aviation industry has one singular fault (IMO) a lack of courage. Instead of cringing and cow-towing to the likes of CASA; tolerating the appalling Air Traffic service and allowing ATSB to wander along purblind and deceitful; it needs to learn but two words. No More! Tell the government to sort out the real causes behind the lack of growth, remove the incubus imposed, and reduce staffing levels by 70 % - save some money and let the industry grow – Oh, it would be handy if we could please have our aerodromes back – now that, would be handy. A small industry cannot possibly keep supporting the impost that incompetent, self aggrandising 'administration' demands. Its a piss take; research, develop, fund, green platitude and delusion - and etc, BUNKUM! Examine the costs and time involved in the simplest 'change' to an operational approval; then redraft the 'Toilet Paper' to say that 'government wants these changes for political purposes and then try to get the tax payer to fund it – Good luck with that. Disgusting result from the long awaited 'White Paper' whitewash. Aye, 'There is indeed a hole in the proverbial bucket' – dear Lisa..
No matter, the houseboat bucket is tried, tested, true and in in good repair; much needed methinks. BRB convenes tonight; I have allowed three minutes for discussion, which should be adequate, considering; before the vote. There's not a Bookie on this planet who would offer odds on the GWEP winning this one. Best crack on – make sure that the libations are at an acceptable temperature – and plenty of it.
Selah...
