A rental - ?
We do (as it happens) have a burrow Wombat could borrow; all 'mod-cons' and free internet; often used by those seeking refuge from the depression stark reality ruthlessly produces when logic, history and horse sense utterly fails to come to grips with 'the way things are'.

I expect it could be done - a 'word' count from all the submissions made to inquiry etc. A page count could work. Mission impossible would be to define the cost in man-hours' expended writing submissions to 'inquiry; refuting the CASA claim that all is well. - I reckon there would be some big numbers in that calculation. That before we estimate the cost in dollars/hours to hold an inquiry - bigger number again I'd bet. For two decades industry have been attempting to illuminate a very dark corner; responding with logic, fact and 'operational' reasonableness and acceptance that there must be some form of administration to guide the industry toward regulatory compliance. Seems we have all been very wrong; the Americans, the Europeans, the Kiwi's even ICAO; all have got it very wrong.
It begs the question though don't it - if CASA is so ducking good - why is the aviation world not clamouring at the doors, begging Australia to show the rest of the world the error of it's ways? Only makes sense; why would the FAA not want to adopt the Australian regulation? Perhaps a lynch mob outside FAA HQ if they did would hint at the answer.
Joyce ain't, by any measure, a silly man; he can do joined up writing and numbers too. In fact, he ain't to bad at the numbers. On a purely mathematical basis (in dollars and sense) there is no profit or taxable revenue to be gained from an industry which is being slowly, but incontrovertibly, being killed off by the way it is 'administered'. There are only two options, and bugger all in the way of choices; the minister either believes the CASA confection and supports it; or, accepts industry claims as legitimate and very, very real.
No brainer really is it? Revenue, jobs, progress, versus the Kool Aide induced fog of believing that the CASA, and only the CASA can continue in their present form to decimate a once thriving industry. Millions of words; dollars and life hours spent trying to deliver one simple message to a responsible minister; CASA is a defunct monstrosity - like Frankenstein's monster - a failed experiment. CASA may believe it is 'the way and the light' - but no other bugger, not in the whole wide world does. Fact.!...
