1. Government’s Purpose of Regulatory Reform.

When will aviation have proper regulatory reform meeting the PM’s policy?

Department of Prime Minister: "The challenge for any government is to deliver effective and efficient regulation and regulatory frameworks that impose the least necessary burden on businesses, community organisations and individuals in delivering economic and social outcomes.

Recent changes to the Australian Government regulatory policy and governance arrangements will improve regulatory quality and support its focus on regulatory reforms to directly enhance innovation, competition, productivity and economic growth. Efforts to reduce compliance burden will continue to be a focus of the Government’s regulatory policy.

From late 2013, the Australian Government put in place a reformed approach to managing regulation to reduce the cost of complying with Australian Government rules and regulation. It also put in place arrangements to foster significant change in regulatory practice across the Australian Public Service.

From 1 July 2016 the Government is strengthening the focus of its Regulatory Reform Agenda to pursue regulatory reforms that remove barriers to competition, innovation and growth; building on the ongoing commitment to cut red tape, improve regulator performance, and strengthen Regulatory Impact Analysis processes.

Through the strengthened Agenda, the Government will continue to minimise the cost of complying with Australian Government regulations while also working to remove unnecessary regulatory barriers to productivity, innovation and growth."

Government Regulatory Reform Major Topics

1. Impose the least necessary burden in delivering economic outcomes.

2. Directly enhance innovation, competition, productivity, and economic growth.

3. Reduce the cost of compliance.

4. Foster significant change in regulatory practice.

5. Remove barriers to competition, innovation and growth.

6. Ongoing commitment to cut red tape.

CASA Regulatory Development (Not Reform)

1. Has increased the regulatory burden without delivering economic outcomes.

2. Restricted innovation, competition, productivity and economic growth.

3. Increased the cost of compliance.

4. Increased cost with significant change in practices.

5. Created barriers to growth.

6. Committed to increasing red tape and regulatory requirements.

Without doubt, all industry has seen produced under this policy is the opposite to the PM Regulatory Reform policy clearly stated on the website of the PM.

Obviously, those within CASA do not see themselves as part of government unlike the FAA reforms being carried out under President Trump’s direction.

Even ‘Blind Freddy’ can see that adopting the USA aviation system would meet the PM’s policy for all six major topics listed above.

Surely CASA would have provided a plan to meet these government initiatives that would remove the unique and unnecessary regulations and red tape that is restricting this industry, especially General Aviation, from achieving its full potential.

ADOPTING THE GOVERNMENT"S REGULATORY REFORM POLICIES WILL SEE GROWTH, INNOVATION, PRODUCTIVITY, etc.

CAN BE DONE QUICKLY – ADOPT THE FARs IS URGENT TO CREATE JOBS.
