Much to play for, lots to loose.
There’s much to recommend Barnaby Joyce; the speech above leaves one with an impression of a honest, honourable man. I believe that if industry heavy weights such as the Rev. Forsyth, Lewis, Cannane, Hurst, Russell et al can keep the message simple and provide ‘do-able’ changes they can start the reform ball rolling on Friday, and have BJ give it a bloody big push.
The simple things such as ADSB held off until the manufacturers in the USA come on line with affordable equipment; ruling the ‘new’ fuel policy, part 61 and CAO 48.1 out until common sense prevails; or simply amending the offending, non constitutional parts of the Act. This would, very quickly, restore confidence and provide irresistible momentum for more, real changes. Hell they may even bring in Kiwi crew to oversight the implementation of a sensible rule set while we hire some competency. You never know, the real reform process could start with a competent DAS and end with an efficient, swift response CLARC system; or (dare I say it) some medical sanity.
BJ could get this all done with a telephone call and a stroke of the pen; play your cards right boys and he may do just that. The ‘right stuff’? course he is; a ridgy-didge, true blue Australian, in the finest tradition. We could offer BJ unlimited access to the Tim-Tam cupboard - can we do that without Stwapon-Wong having a hissy fit?
Toot toot.
