A mighty conundrum.
I have, with some care and diligence, ploughed my way through the State Safety Program (SSP) with which Australia is obliged, under the ICAO agreement is to comply. I have even managed to define the loosely formed connections between what Australia has ‘scripted’ and the spirit and intent of the ICAO ‘vision’. No matter.
As we have discussed many times recently on AP the Air Services debacle screams for the SSP to be initiated. The proposed dilution and privatization of 25% of an essential safety service is a prime candidate. All the trigger points are loaded, the alarum bells are ringing and yet the CASA boss Carmody, chooses to hide behind another, pointless, costly, time gaining review, making veiled threats and insulting expert industry leaders.
Halfwit should never have been allowed to continue running the operation; the conflict of interest and government audit should have forced him to stand down – at least until the entire ‘One Shy’ situation had been ‘properly’ investigated. If we must fund yet another useless inquiry, why not spend the dollars on sorting out ASA? Before someone gets hurt.
The SSP is there to be used in just such a situation – the public should be informed that there is system to analyse and dissect the risible ASA solution to their own problems; created out of greed, ego, arse covering and ‘mates’ being looked after. Both Angus Houston and Chester need to resign and take their entertaining Halfwit and Carmody with them, they are, IMO a national disgrace. The only 'myth' that needs busting here is that of honesty, competence and how a billion dollar a year monopoly can be broke. The whole thing is a farce, in danger of becoming a tragedy.
CASA can initiate the SSP, in a heartbeat; the question begging is Why have they not?
Toot toot.
