Two out of four corners nailed down:-
Sandy - "Sounds great, relieve the Minister from responsibility and de-couple the salaries from regular PS scales and be sure of plenty of revenue to be extorted from the industries regulated because these GBEs are monopolies. Because they have no competition and pretend to be semi commercial they can pay themselves whatever they like, or can pay themselves with a straight face. Note new CASA CEO massive pay increase with no explanation forthcoming."
Calling out the potential for two bites at the plump cherry of Fiscal embuggerance on one side are the visible, definable and potentially controllable elements in the equation. Whilst of great concern and much in need of clinical analysis; they are overshadowed by two more elements; carefully concealed and cleverly obfuscated; these should be of great concern to any responsible government, for they are directly in conflict with democratic principal, the rule of law and beyond normal the 'checks and balances' available through public scrutiny and open debate..
Significant legislation affecting compatibility with the global system is brought in without debate; laws affecting the way in which aircraft can be used and maintained are drafted, published and, without any demure from those affected are enforced. This without a 'peep' from either minister of opposition counterpart.
The Police services would love to have the unchecked powers available and be spared the need to produce and defend that 'evidence' in court. There are serious restraints placed on law enforcement; these rights are protected through the constitution and, there are some pretty fierce watchdogs out there to make sure the police 'act' within those boundaries. But not for 'aviation' it seems; why?
There exists a shed full of evidence which is blithely ignored by both sides of government. They have abandoned fundamental principals and allowed a public service to continue, unchecked to the point of a being dictatorship, beyond all control. The final insult expecting the public and industry to pay for it.
There is but one solution - the blueprint is held by New Zealand; freely available to the minister at the stroke of a pen. Why didn't you call?.
