Ben Morgan makes excellent points about the illogic of CASAs behavior and the economic costs this has entailed.

There is jusT one problem Ben; The Labor Party views GA and recreational flying as easy and cheap sacrifices on the alter of climate change. It’s obvious from this circumlocution in the terms of reference for their Aviation white paper:

ie.: how to maximise the aviation sector’s contribution to achieving net zero carbon emissions including through sustainable aviation fuel and emerging technologies”.

That is code for the phaseout of fossil fuel consuming GA and RA aircraft - immediately for recreation and minimisation of use for GA except for emergency services.

There is no way in hell that the Government wants aviation to expand unless by electric aircraft. As far as the ALP and Greens are concerned, CASAs behavior is a feature not a bug.
