I can’t help remembering the CVD struggle: they battled their way through to miniscule Truss, got a meeting and everything.  Remember this:-



But they were doomed; all that hope dashed in one small session of estimates – CASA adjudged the matter worthy of appeal and the hint that RAAF rules on colour vision would apply.  Same –same with the good Rev Forsyth’s report; lots of speeches made - except Albo of course; that report too along with the Canadian review is patiently shuffling down the shredder line, waiting their inevitable fate, obscurity.

So, for my two bob, I agree if this industry can’t manage to act as a cohesive unit; put aside personalities and play the ball, not the man; then history will, as it’s wont to, be repeated.

I wish ‘em well in Tamworth, Friday week, I really do.  It is great opportunity to actually put a political party on the hot spot, the hotter the better.  Ask any blacksmith – strike while the iron is hot or don’t bother at all.
