AMROBA - Who cares??

Saw the following from off the AMROBA site, thought it needed some exposure and where better to put it than on the Reverend Forsyth's thread - Why? Well IMHO he is one of a minority who truly does care...   

Also in a much easy on the eye format AMROBA's latest newsletter is IMO very much required reading

Well done KC & the AMROBA band..

However - except for bogus weasel-worded corporate plans, that say lots but mean nothing - the deathly silence from the Miniscule's office, his department & Murky's yes-men stooges (Skidmore, Harfy & Beaker) is deafening - could someone check if the Miniscule has a pulse??

Strange dichotomy?- Marine v Aviation Industries

I have often thought that, in a strange way, the non-partisan approach to aviation safety & the apathy of the aviation industry in general, is ironically doing our industry a huge disservice. Now I have further evidence to confirm my suspicions with a point of comparison with the Australian Maritime Industry...  

Two days ago the RRAT Legislative Committee tabled a report from an inquiry that looked into - Shipping Legislation Amendment Bill 2015 [Provisions]

However the findings of that report were not unanimously accepted by the members of the committee. Consequently two dissenting reports were also tabled, one from Labor & one from the Greens.

Both of these reports take issue with the CBA/RIS of the proposed amended legislation,  plus the potential loss of industry jobs if the legislation was to be accepted by the Senate:



..&





This inquiry generated 20 submissions and as we know the ASRR (Forsyth review) generated 269 submissions, which was followed up by 48 responses to the Forsyth panel findings & recommendations. Yet the largely accepted by Government Forsyth recommendations have effectively stalled in bureaucratic obfuscation and as a consequence the GA industry (refer AMROBA - Who Cares?) sits on the precipice of losing yet more small to medium sized businesses which include Flying Schools, MROs & charter operators.

Quote from Farmer Truss opening speech to Safeskies gobfest:

The Aviation Environment


We all recognise that aviation is critical to our nation's future development and economic growth.

In 2014, Australia's aviation industry employed 56,600 people in Australia directly and in 2013–14, contributed over $7 billion to the Australian economy.

Domestic and international passenger movements through Australia's major airports are expected to increase by 3.7 per cent a year to 2030–31, reaching over 279 million passenger movements compared with 147 million last year.

Over the last few decades, the volume of freight flown into and out of Australia has also more than doubled and is expected to continue to grow.

However after an unprecedented growth period driven by the resources sector we are now seeing more challenging times for regional aviation.

The fall in commodity prices and the mining industry's transition to the operational phase of production has seen some downturns in some regional market sectors...blah..blah..blah

 
The jobs already lost and yet to be lost due to the strangulation through regulation impost and sociopathic embuggerance by CASA, would easily be counted in the 1000's. So why is there no outcry from either the Greens or Labor? 

Dichotomy?- You bet..
