The RRAT hearings, an interpretation.
CASA annually c. $200 million, CEO Ms Spence c. $630,000 and senior managers c. $500,000.
Running costs of the RRAT and Senator’s expenses, $$$?
Between them couldn’t even get the video and sound right for an online meeting.
CASA wouldn’t own up to its misleading of the Senate Committee about its lack of a safety case to justify its punishing and illogical regulations against Angel Flight. Similarly wouldn’t, in effect refused, to answer what sum of court costs was awarded to CASA. Talk about breathtaking arrogance, thumbing its nose to the Senators and citizens alike.
It beggars belief that CASA would request costs against the exemplary Angel Flight charity that is one of the only bright spots in our declining General Aviation community.
CASA won its case by defeating AF’s attempt to have unjust regulations on its operation removed.
It seems that CASA can regulate any way it likes and doesn’t need reasons for its regulations, i.e. power unlimited and unbridled which has been given to it by the Parliament.
We see the Senators in hand wringing mode, even angry, but all has been sitting there mouldering away for years, better have another inquiry rather than get up on your hind legs in the Parliament and demand reform action for General Aviation and Angel Flight. Or set up a media conference and enlighten the Australian public to the antics of CASA and garner support for the big changes that must be effected. Yes such action would embarrass the government but would be in the interests of all citizens which is the job of MPs.
And then there’s the case of Glen Buckley, the smashing of his business without a shred of reasonable justification, what are our MPs doing to correct and recompense for this glaring injustice?
Lastly don’t even think about what our international friends are thinking about the dark, incompetent, careless and fee gouging shenanigans that’s supposed to be the responsible governance of Australia’s aviation industry.
How much lower can we go before a Minister takes charge in the manner of democratic responsibility in the Westminster tradition?
