Sandy walks the talk on General Aviation advocacy -

Ref previous post: 

Wombat predicts the GA position in the life of this Parliament, it’s hard not to agree.
One critical missing element is lack of a media profile which could expose the modus operandi of the make work salary factory CASA and its woeful record of mismanagement.
Not to mention the excruciating details of Glen Buckley’s trials and mistreatment at the hands of the out of control regulator.

Whilst in Canberra for the last couple of days Belle and I were able to meet Senator Susan McDonald.

Senator McDonald is well versed in matters of the “tyranny of distance” having family and personal history in outback ventures and living in northern Queensland. The Senator, of the Liberal National Party, has the very important Shadow Minister Portfolios of Resources and Northern Australia.

The Senator generously agreed to met in between her busy Senate sittings which reminded me of that old saying “If you want a job done ask a busy person.”

We share a mutual Interest to promote practical policies for the revitalisation of General Aviation, and we canvassed some ideas around developing longer term strategies for same, building on the inquiries she initiated through Senate Committee hearings from 2020 and 2021.
 
Having not met Senator McDonald previously, we were most impressed and hope to meet again. There’s no doubt that Senator McDonald’s spirit, personality and free enterprise conviction are the assets that we all wish to see in the Parliament.

Well done Sandy Reith. I was impressed with Senator McDonald's performance as chair of the Senate Enquiry. She is obviously frustrated with CASA's lack of accountability exposed during the enquiry. What are her thoughts on your suggestion to get CASA back under ministerial control as per normal departmental structure?

Great work Sandy Reith! Senator Susan McDonald is a great friend to Australia's general aviation industry and community!
