A ghost at the banquet.
Been watching this thread since kick off; impoverished for lack content. The much heralded, long awaited reform process has simply died aborning.
It is quite clear now that even with the best will and efforts of many, there will be no meaningful reform, particularly of CASA. Every now and then a small thrill ripples through the industry; Jeff Boyd and the board are going to do something – result zero change. Every now and then there is a catspaw of breeze from the winds of change from a RRAT committee – result zero change. Dick Smith and the Oz (‘Iggins) start barking at the moon, days of press – result zero change. Skidmore ambles about the place “listening” and offering meaningless platitudes – result zero change.
Is the industry screaming blue bloody murder? Demanding change now ? The only answer is NO. Why? Well that is an easy one to answer, the stakes are high, the retribution awful and the cost of the game is hardly worth the candle; when you know the deck is marked.
No matter; Plonker Shidmore will have it all sorted by 2030; I can’t wait. (I should live that long).
Edit - addendum: I just noticed on the UP there is a barking match starting up – rumbles of No confidence and reminders that 66, 61, 145 and CAO 48.1 have all been passed into the volumes of legal requirements; they are now going to spend days drafting protests against 91 and the dreadful 135; Bollocks. Industry should ram the rules down the CASA collective throat’s; or other suitable orifice and demand the reforms promised. Waste of time, ink and effort trying to persuade CASA to Duck off. More time, more cost and more wasted effort.
Shame, shame, shame....

Avaunt, and quit my sight! Let the earth hide thee.
Thy bones are marrowless, thy blood is cold.
Thou hast no speculation in those eyes
Which thou dost glare with!
