[Kharon]

There’s non so deaf etc.

When a person like Civil Air president Daryl Hickey expresses concerns, the powers that be need to start paying attention, serious attention and get something done, quick smart.  These are not the pandering, mindless mouthing’s of a hapless lapdog in a dreadful suit.  These are the words of a man who runs one of the most efficient, effective ‘associations’ in Australia.  His members can and do express their expert, calm, pragmatic concerns to their association. Note, the members are subject to some fairly hefty responsibility and liability; and, if they are ‘concerned’ then the minister needs to be afraid, very afraid.

This is not some dog barking or a child crying wolf.  These are intelligent, dedicated, responsible people.  The right advice is there for the minister – the blood will, most definitely, be on his hands if the unthinkable ever happens and he has taken advice from the happy clappy, match fit buffoon.  Take Hickey and Hood into a back room minister, get the real gubbins and act, swiftly, correctly and promptly; while you may.

Oh, and don't even think of hiding behind the 'caretaker' firewall; score the points now, then even if you loose power, you will have a fairly substantial stick with which to beat the opposition.  Think on.

Selah.
