The AOPA 31st December 2012 Annual report to ASIC [in part]:
Receipts for membership fees in 2012 show a very marked fall and at $150/ member represent less than 600 members.
A real pity for what was a very vibrant organisation. I, for one, left because AOPA was taking money from CASA to run events. I was, and still am of the view that this compromises the ability to criticise the regulator.
