DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER CALLS FOR GENERAL AVIATION CONSENSUS ON UPDATE TO THE CIVIL AVIATION ACT.
AOPA Australia President, Marc De Stoop, and Executive Director, Benjamin Morgan, and AMROBA Executive Director, Ken Cannane, today met with Deputy Prime Minister, Michael McCormack to discuss our support for changes to the […]
On the 26th April 2018, Dick Smith spoke in Wagga NSW about the challenges facing #aviation.
In the talk, which is below for an almost 20-minute listen, calls for substantial changes to the Civil Aviation Act [CAAct], which will immediately benefit the direction of #aviation and #saveGA.
Further Dick calls for the introduction of the […]
The article in the Mt Isa paper demonstrates only part of the problem facing #aviation in Australia. A lot of these problems have been foisted on us by an unworkable aviation rule set, price gouging by Councils [and airport “owners”], air services charges, ASIC issues, security, #casa impossible and micro management rules.
The following are a series of FOI requests made to #casa recently. The basis of the #casa response is refusal for a FOI. This is traced to the #casa legal branch and either Adam Anastasi or Jonathon Aleck involved.
The FOI disclosure log has been interfered with to the point where FOI’s, legitimately made and […]
The general view by the #aviation industry is that the general process of “reform” is not leading to better regulations, but to ones out of step with the rest of the world and people are walking away from the industry.
This time other peoples survival have been compromised. The loss of human transplant materials from New Zealand could well affect a number of recipient lives who, although through a sad passing of another human life is a tragedy, the family unselfish donation to others is lost.
A quick look at the history of this Minister, who is in charge of aviation within his portfolio shows a Minister who last October [2016] admitted he did not understand aviation to ABC’s Fran Kelly.
A Minister who excludes, with able assistance from his CEO of the regulator [#casa], key aviation industry participants from […]
Ian Britza enters fray for by-election in New England against Barnaby Joyce.
Who is Ian Britza??
Ian spent time growing up in Western Australian and the African country of Malawi and moved to New South Wales at the age of 15 where he lived for 25 years.
The latest by #casa is to call for assistance from the #aviation industry to assist it in the “Regulatory reform Process”. Good in principle, but in fact it is about time the Minister took notice in this to stop the nonsense.
A history of direction of this process is seen in a recent article calling […]
In the #casa monthly missive – September 2017, Carmody tries to say he is “….re-setting the way CASA consults and engag(es)ing with the aviation community. …”
Well this is the CEO who in fact still is not doing that.
AOPA-AUS excluded a chair in ASAP; [Carmody says”……is drawn from representative groups…” – NOT True No […]
I followed through onto the #casa web site to look at the recently [July, 2017] released corporate plan.
In reading the document, with it’s key section, the measurement of performance, come to the distinct conclusion that #casa must not continue as there is no measurable metric that is given.
s the public servant, who I have seen “bail out” #casa, #atsb and #airservices starting to crack?
At numerous senate estimates hearings, MrDak has defended the indefensible with #casa in particular being the beneficiary. When McCormick was in the CEO role, a lot of the happenings were in front of the senators and batted away […]
The latest Australian Flying has a Letter-to-the-Editor which calls into doubt the way Shane Carmody is “…doing business…” It seems that “….nothing to see here…” reigns supreme and he still does not “get aviation”.
AOPA was excluded a chair in the new #casa ASAP, according to the monthly talk-fest released today.
AOPA, founded in 1948 can speak for itself, without the protection of the TAAAF – The Australian Aviation Association Forum. AOPA speaks for a range of people similar to RAAus [Recreational Aviation Australia], who own and fly GA […]
In today’s Australian, Shane Carmody, the re-cycled former employee of #casa, talks about what has been labelled by the #aviation industry as a defective regulator.
The full content is below.
The same has already been attempted in the well known and respected YAFFA produced “Australian Flying”.
Minister McCormack has some serious work to undertake
Minister McCormack has some serious work to undertake.
Here are the resolutions arising from the #aviation meeting in Wagga over the past two days [see below].
There has been some well thought out ideas here, which can be boiled down into:
Review of the Civil Aviation Act, to include as a minimum, a repeal of […]
