The Sunfish protocol.

I will be working hard in Federal parliament to ensure that general aviation again thrives and prospers across Australia. I will not stand by and see general aviation destroyed in Australia as a result of unfair regulation.

Tony Windsor.

The point is simple; take a copy of the TAAAF document to both the local member and the opposition; then make a simple statement.

“I will vote for you and do my best to persuade others to vote for you IF you promise me, now, that you will campaign, should you be elected, to foster and promote this policy and do your level best to have the recommendations of the Forsyth ASRR implemented, within the time frames nominated.  

That, boys and girls is the Sunfish protocol;

Honourable men keep their word; politicians? they need a little more stick and carrot.

Selah.

As you would appreciate, we have been approached by a number of political parties and representatives, with regard to seeking our endorsement and support.  Team Nick Xenophon already releasing a clear position statement with regard to ADSB.

Talking of Sunfish of UP fame, here is his response to the latest Ben Morgan correspondence & his take on the Jeff Boyd remarks at Tamworth:

Excellent letter! Keep the momentum going!

Now is the time to pile it on!

If Mr. Boyds alleged comments at the Tamworth rally are accurately reported, then either Mr. Boyd or AVM. Skidmore is going to have to resign in my opinion. Because AVM. Skidmore, by resigning from AOPA and allegedly being intransigent on ADS-B, has hitched his wagon to the CASA status quo and Boyd appears to have said that CASA has a case to answer. They both can't be right.

My guess is that Mrdak and his minion Carmody are going to have to decide very shortly if CASA is worth supporting in its current form because the last thing politicians need is an angry pressure group of GA aviators approaching an election and if we do things right they will blame CASA for their electoral problems. What we need to do is promising to make the temperature hotter right up till election day! - We're working on it Sunny

   

To follow on from the Sunny posted observations, here is three audio segments from last Monday's Kelly Fuller (ABC New England) radio breakfast show:

The aviation industry says it's going to the wall because of over regulations by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.

Around 300 pilots and members of the industry met with Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce and the Minister for Transport Darren Chester on Friday afternoon to raise their concerns.
