There IS one way to get parliaments attention. That is for AOPA to run mail out campaigns against sitting government members in every marginal federal seat in Australia - or prepare to do so unless there is progress towards a set of agreed objectives. That is what AOPA does in the USA. I am assuming it’s legal of course.
Labor has 8 seats under 2% and the libs and independents have 3. I wonder what hope CASA would have against an electorally worried government? Not much would be my guess.
I wonder how a Ben Morgan editorial flyer in those mailboxes might affect things? “don’t vote for A, vote for B if your kids want an aviation career, etc.
AOPA could start its own fighting fund like AOPA in the USA.
On a philosophical note, which is difficult for a marsupial burrowing creature, there is some symmetry in adopting american political techniques since the USA is the source of almost all western aviation technology and learning.
