"Hmm...well at least now Barry O'Obfuscation has effectively left the building... Rolleyes"

Yup P2 but the same intractable incompetent mob remains.

During my trawl through the halls of ICAO one thing stood out to me was the fact that even though they are a bloated UN agency, ICAO fully grasps the concept that without civil aviation being viable in all its forms, their whole existence is fruitless.

CAsA however are so profoundly dumb and inept, that they imagine they can go on with their regulatory folly until the whole industry collapses under the sheer weight of their ineptitude. They imagine "The user pays" and pays while they and their minions grow fat and bloated until time immemorial. It's farcical and doomed to failure.

A previous DAS, named not by people within Australia, but from his previous employment, as the screaming Skull, a name etched in infamy in the annuls of Fort fumble.

He had the arrogance to name those in the industry beginning to object to his sociopathic bullying, as the ills of society, the so called IOS. How dare he! The current DAS is cut from the same mould.

The true IOS are those who given unfettered power by our politicians, misuse that power to undermine our democracy, where every citizen has, or should have, the right to complain about their governance and be listened to by those who govern.
Does not a citizen of Australia where a government entity through its own arrogance, uses an impossible to define excuse to decimate an entire industry through incompetent regulation have a right to complain.
