P, a tad ironic, but it was interesting to note on the same page of the Australian right next to the above epistle, an article promoting an all new ITALIAN sports aircraft.

On the one hand a promotion of an aircraft from a foreign country, where innovation and enterprise are nurtured and promoted by their government, as opposed to our own regulator and its legal mouthpiece frantically attempting to discredit virtually the last man standing of Australian manufacturers.

Dr?.....such a nice title.... Dr of what exactly? Was it inserted into the article to imply " here is an expert", someone with knowledge and expertise in aviation, whereas in reality anything the good Dr has been involved in regarding aviation has ended up a cluster..ck.

One has to ponder, does a PHD in Papua New Guinea voodoo magic qualify someone as an expert in aviation?

It is a moot point that he is even expert in aviation law.

There are many who would say, he's just another unqualified, incompetent trough dweller and well paid member of the Iron ring that are causing so much damage to our industry and its reputation.

It would be startling if just once, someone from our regulator had something positive to say about our industry.
