What the hell, no not the attack on the entrenched medical specialist. At the age of ten score years and cinq, every time I see a specialist, medical that is, they charge so that another two hectares are added to their vineyards.

Its time COAG, courage!

General Aviation is crippled by regulation whilst Airlines get away with “murder”. Put in ATSB style reporting organisation with clout to prevent cover-ups and let the system work without usual corruption.
