I do not think that Australians are losing confidence, as much as Senator O’Brien works most of his time trying to undermine confidence. I think that we have a very good civil aviation regulator in place and the people who work there are very dedicated Australian public servants who care deeply about the safety of the people who fly around Australia’s skies. They know, as I do, that regional Australia exists on the back of a sound aviation sector which is properly regulated. They have acted properly in this area. They will make their decision about Federal Court action. They are entirely the appropriate people to do that.
