Good men and true.
Nice to know we do have some. I wonder if our CASA first XI are too lost in their own mystical world of smoke, mirrors; or, just too arrogant to bother reading a fine publication, like the Mandarin, believing that they are above the world of mere mortal concerns. They should; two fine, intelligent men, the likes of Messrs McCullough and Reid who have dared to look in the mirror, spotted the errors and taken the time to set down the case in clear terms, are worth not only reading, but heeding. In an aviation context their comments fit so perfectly , that with a few changes, the words could easily form the basis of a ministerial directive to the CASA board and the Director. Particularly if it was framed in a ‘Do it Now - Or else’ manner.
Bravo McCullough and Reid, well said Sirs.
"Writing in their own names, the head of the corporate and international tax division, David McCullough, and a chief adviser in the Law Design Office, Tom Reid, say Australia should adopt the New Zealand government’s model of regulatory reform."
“If it were possible to reduce the present impost by even 10% — a reduction of around $6-7 billion per annum — the benefit to business and the community would be as large as those hoped for from many of the ambitious economic reforms pursued in recent decades.”
“These costs inevitably flow through to the community more widely, even when their initial impact is on a single business. Unnecessary costs reduce the national income and detract from the viability of domestic businesses, especially when they are exposed to overseas competition. Well-functioning regulatory frameworks provide markets with the catalyst to flourish and businesses with the confidence to invest.”
Thank you to the Mandarin for publishing another great article. Now we just need to wait and see if it has any impact.
Toot - toot.
