Minister Chester fails to reply to letter, which appears to be a normal occurrence. This is just standard procedure it appears.

 

Letter to Chester and reply that is just avoidance

This information comes from Voca; I would suggest anyone interested should do some research on Voca.

 

The heading of this thread is misleading; the Minister did not fail to reply to a letter; he just chose to reply through his Chief of Staff.

 

Given the letter sent by the anonymous person, that was a prudent action.

 

Federal and State Ministers are very unlikely to personally respond in writing, except where the reply has been researched and is within Government policy; then they have been known to be very frank.

 

So in some respects what happened actually is standard procedure, but that says a lot more about the person approaching the Minister, than about the Minister himself.

 

Apart from anything else, remember he is the Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development - a HUGE portfolio.

Local government across Australia needs to start working with the aviation industry and community. It is this very kind of abuse of our airport assets that is contributing to general aviation decline nationwide.

 

Where have the necessary protections been?

 

Where is the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development and their oversight/safeguards to stop/prevent abuses of industry?

 

Where is Transport Minister, Darren Chester, standing up for the men and women of this industry, pledging his support?

 

It's time for genuine change.
