I can promise you one thing; the Senior Management of CASA has a draft of an "ALP White Paper" on Civil Aviation sitting in their computers right now.
You can guess what the paper contains;
- Motherhood suggestions for a cosmetic overhaul of regulation to appear to satisfy the ALP's greening strategy.
- Amendments to regulatiory strategy and a new SoE that reinforce and increase the power of CASA Senior Management.
- measures to take revenge on opponents of the status quo.
In other words, CASA will inflict more of the same and you can forget any meaningful "reform".
By way of explanation, all Government organisations have a "wish list" ready and waiting to go against the day that a Government changes and policy must be seen to change. Politicians and their staff are lazy. They will take CASA's proffered paper, change a few words and headings and voila! A new ALP policy!
