I know of one case where it took […] Share this:Sandy Reith reminds the Senators of the history of the past 10-years, where #aviation has come under extreme pressure due to indifferent Government action and failure to manage #aviation for the future.

This is the type of attitude that the industry have […] Share this:Minister McCormack has some serious work to undertake.
