Ian Britza, has today announced a policy statement calling for a full review into the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
Australian Country Party candidate for New England Ian Britza, has today announced a policy statement calling for a full review into the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
Mr Britza said 'Its just not on that so much red tape can be put in front of our aviation clubs and businesses. This could have a long term affect on general aviation in this Country, something needs to be done."
"Something needs to be done"
We trumpet Australia as being "The Lucky country" that may be true, but are we the smartest?
I would say Lucky we may be, but that luck will one day run out and sooner than anyone may imagine.
Aviation is just one industry amongst a Plethora of industries being hobbled by incompetent self serving Bureaucrats.
We point the finger and rant about the incompetence of our Politicians, for sure they must accept some of the blame for the decent of Australia into its current morass of angst, but they do not make decisions in a vacuum.
They rely on "Advice" to inform their decision making process and much of that advice comes from the ruling class of bureaucrats who once upon a time served the public interest. It is them that decide what is good for us and what is becoming very apparent they are through ineptitude, arrogance, or plain stupidity not doing their job.
Government is charged by the people with managing the country.
In much the same way with a company, a board of directors sets policy and the general direction a company should take, then charges management with the task of implementing that policy and direction.
In the case of Aviation in Australia, inept and incompetent and unqualified management is running the board not the other way round.
The shareholders of this country, "the people" must also bear some responsibility for the foolishness of ruling class. Our apathy enables vocal minority activists to influence political decisions to their views and self interests over the views of the majority, at the same time big business massages the egos and no doubt the bank balances of decision makers to see things their way, the greater good gets left behind in decision making processes.
The mess the country finds itself in with energy policy is a classic example. The most energy rich nation on earth, suddenly finds itself with the most expensive energy on earth. How the hell did that happen?
It didn't happen over night, it happened over an extended period of time. Poor policy heavily influenced by fractious focus groups, inept bureaucrats failing to see and advise of unintended consequences, and lazy politicians until it arrived at the current crisis.
In the same manner over the years CAsA has been left to its own devises completely oblivious to the damage its ineptitude and incompetence was inflicting on an industry, an industry that gave it its whole purpose.
Good policy was subverted by self serving bureaucrats, hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayers money thrown away on a folly. Was that smart? I hardly think so.
Here we are today, the foolishness and arrogance of self serving bureaucrats trundling us towards that inevitable precipice.
If, as was mandated all those years ago in the early eighties, we had adopted the US regulations, we would have the safest flying environment on the planet rather than a myth, we would have a vibrant industry contributing to the overall wellbeing of the country, we would have saved the taxpayer hundreds of millions of dollars.
I strongly support an inquiry into CAsA, its ineptitude, its stupidity, its complete and utter failure to comply with government policy, its malfeasance in destroying the hopes and dreams of so many people and its complete failure to achieve any of the benchmarks set for it. They were not charged with the task of destroying an industry, they were charged with regulating to make it as safe as possible. The consequence of their actions have merely made Australia the most expensive country in which to commit aviation with the inevitable unintended consequence of being no safer than anyone else with an impoverished unviable industry.
