Budget Estimates: Popinjay & AMSA dodge Senate Estimates - WTD?? 

Finally the last Senate Committee (the Sterle led RRAT committee) today published their Budget Estimates program for next week: https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Bus...t_hearings

Notable absences to the program are the Popinjay led ATSB and the Mr Kinley led AMSA?? 

Considering the current shambolic clusterduck that is the ATSB on AAI and the seemingly disinterested Federal marine regulator's oversight of the Transdev and DCV safety issues in the Sydney Harbour puddle, I would of thought that both Federal agencies should be front and centre at Budget Estimates?? - FFS!   

Theory 1: Perhaps the Betts led Dept of Duck Up Fairy's has decided to circumvent the Popinjay and Kinley numpties within the department itself??

(See 5:30pm program entry)

Theory 2: Or is this the first sign of the (Carolyn Walsh led) Federal policy takeover bid of the regulation and safety investigation of all things that move within the Commonwealth of Australia kicking into gear?
