    I don't see the problem with properly informed proxies beating the privileged voters in the room. And motions from the floor discriminate against proxy givers.

    It is quite easy to stack a meeting - the youth wings of the ALP, Liberal Party and Country Party are experts. In a national organisation like ours proxies are the only way to maintain democracy.

    Nah, raising stuff from the floor without prior notice prevents those not in the know having a voice and a vote. The proper way to deal with floor matters is for members to raise the issues and the meeting can discuss, the board can then take the issue on board for possible resolution. If it is not resolved to the members are entitled to bring the matter back to an AGM or GM with due notice and then the attendees and potential proxies can take an informed decision. The reason for allowing the corporations law to have an impact on motions at a meeting is that there may be issues under corporation law where a particular resolution must, may or may not be moved or carried. I'm not a great fan of the corporations law as it forced companies and their members into the claws of lawyers and whackjobs at ACCC and ASIC. But on the other hand it attempts to keep everyone honest (but fails miserably in the case of big business and the NSW Club industry). It appears that the behaviour of the RAAus Board was to prevent gaming of the system - NRMA was pretty good at that.

    A lot of politicians are very experienced/long but they still tend to make it up as they go along or forget to review their sketchy back of the envelope calcs

    And without due notice to the rank and file - an abuse of process.

    Same here, at least you got admitted.

    You could contact Fraser Anning Skyfox Aviation PO Box910 Caloundra QLD 4551 Ph: (074) 91 5355 Fax: (074) 91 8237 But you might have trouble finding him "Australian Electoral Commission drops case against missing former far-right senator Fraser Anning AEC discontinued case after ‘comprehensive search to locate’ former One Nation senator failed"

    And around cities, prime agricultural land turned into solar farms with housing built underneath. Farmers are entitled to get the best price for their land and in this case land bought or leased would be at the best price. This is much better than going slowly broke or waiting for the vultures to turn up and selling out for a song to the farmer next door.

    Not a monopoly - one has many choices on how to burn ones cash. owning a power boat is a very good way to destroy a fortune if you don't like the way the board and staff of RAAus is running the show

    Giving Ballina a tower would make it even more dangerous, they would then have to give it class C or D airspace status. Once transited Coffs airspace - we were directed over the water - there didn't appear to be any Coffs traffic at all. Does RPT pay really, really, really big bucks for the vast areas of private airspace around Australia.

    Should be YSLH - Sydney, Lawrence Hargrave or YSHI - Sydney, Hargrave International or even YKHI, just a boost for the trogs in the blue mountains YLHI was already taken

    If you want to measure incompetence you can't really go past ACCC, ACMA or ASIC - actually they are as bad as all the other QANGOs and departments.

    Motion 4 was withdrawn by the board Motion 5 failed to get the numbers in a poll and was roundly defeated in the ballot. I appreciate the sentiment but maybe an entrenched board member should be re-voted every year after having served 9 years unless there is a gap of 1 year after which the clock starts clocking again.

    YWSI? = Young Women's Summer Institute?

    "1.2 What is Flight Crew Licencing The flight crews discussed in the Flight Crew Licensing Procedures are pilots and flight engineers." This means that Flight attendants unless licenced as "flight crew" are not "flight crew".

    For further amusement try this https://www.casa.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-11/flight-crew-licensing-manual.pdf Apart from the Nationals running a protection racket for Rex (and a gun in every house) and the opposition and Flight Centre running a protection racket for non-Oz airlines I am plumb out of conspiracy theories. For better or worse, I fly into airports requiring an ASIC so against my better judgement I have an ASIC. I will add, however, that the airport owner has the right to impose a usage or entry condition and that may be the need to carry and display ASIC/AVID. So be it!

    Some more light reading CASR Part 61 says " 61.335 Identity checks (1) CASA may, by written notice given to the holder of a flight crew licence or certificate of validation, require the holder to provide evidence of his or her identity in accordance with paragraph 6.57(1)(a) of the Aviation Transport Security Regulations 2005. (2) The holder commits an offence if: (a) CASA has not told the holder, in writing, that he or she has complied with the requirement; and (b) the holder exercises the privileges of the licence or certificate. Penalty: 50 penalty units. (3) For subregulation (2), CASA is taken to have told the holder that he or she has complied with the requirement if CASA issues a new licence document or certificate of validation to the holder after giving the holder the notice. (4) An offence against this regulation is an offence of strict liability. "

    A bit of light reading can be found by searching for AVIATION TRANSPORT SECURITY REGULATIONS 2005 - REG 6.57 Flight crew licences etc--requirements in relation to issue

    Life is too very, very short to waste time searching fæcebook for AOPA stuff. It would be far better if AOPA used text and images rather than 2 hours of video. It would also help if they used email rather than fæcebook.

    At least you don't need a BP Carnet (scum!)

    Are you sure that you're not confusing causation and coincidence?

    A jab engine in a foxbat would be a great idea.
