Today tv had the NSW Premier talking head about changing tort law to
reintroduce the concept of personal responsibility. SA draft laws are also
heading this way.
Meanwhile the question that arises from every AEF enquiry - are they hoping
something will go wrong to open a litigation opportunity.
For every ab-initio enquiry - are they hoping to 'fly' without having to
care about outcomes, because the club can be held responsible?

Similar themes apply to the preference in some clubs for motorgliders and
ultralights. It makes flight easier.

Whereas traditional glider pilots look to the challenge of sustaining flight.
(Today I had a good scratch in an unresponsive sluggish glider in weak
winter conditions, and just loved being able to keep the ground from hitting
me for just a little while.)
