I am not sure that the Labor Party necessarily opposed those provisions when they went through this place, but we can check the record in relation to that. According to aviation safety law, Transair can continue to fly, pending a review by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal of CASA’s decision to cancel its air operators certificate. The legislation provides for an automatic stay of five business days from the cancellation decision. The stay of the decision allows Transair to apply to the AAT for a review of the cancellation decision. Transair has had until the close of business on 31 October to make that application. If the application is made then the stay continues in effect for up to 90 days or until the tribunal completes its review of the decision, whichever comes first. We have legislated for this. This is called procedural fairness. (Time expired)
