should be be interesting to see if the government votes to draw a thick line under the history of CASA once the truth is laid bare

I am not much into history but this is not casa's first rodeo. Will there be any RAA announcements re MTOW CTA in the next two years ?  My guess no.

Before anyone gets excited, it would be worth searching on the Commonwealth Parliamentary Website to see what RRATs do and how they work.

 

Note that it refers to GA; SAAOs are self administering.

 

Balancing safety, relative risk, economic costs is something a lot of people have been asking for.

Didn't we watch the honchos from CASA in a Senate Estimates Committee enquiry earlier in the year?

Australia has a long history of expensive and exhaustive investigations leading to...

 

government inaction.

I did suggest reading up on RRATs; they are definitely not like Royal Commissions.

 

There are opportunities to look at details through other processes.

We did, but what most of us watched, or were pointed to was a request by a single Senator to answer an unrelated question, which in the finish irritated the Chairman. If we'd watched the Senate Estimates Committee's full session we'd probably have been asleep from all the financial details.

I was looking for the original song from The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas when I can upon this and couldn't resist

This is just typical of our government. have an enquiry that takes years and then it takes years to decide what the enquiry found and even longer to reach a decision as to what should be done, by that time it is too late, so we have another enquiry.

 

If you don't believe me, just think back to the Banking Royal Commission.

Have a look on RRAT's recent enquiry into AirServices: https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Senate_Estimates/rrat/2018-19_Additional_estimates/Report/c05

 

RRAT's seems to do a good job, but I think YENN has stated our perception of the value of these enquiries.
