The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is a total waste of taxpayer money

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is that useless that I won't even put them as a link to my site!

If there is one organisation that could actually compile and release up to date daily road and rail death and injury statistics, it should be this department!

But nah they are on too many junkets and wouldn't want the public knowing the real status of road safety! And because there is no body that really represents the safety profession in this country, there is no pressure on them to do so.

Isn't it sad that the only body in this country the Safety Insititute of Australia is too busy protecting it's unqualified mates to actually do anything to improve safety and turn safety into an actual profession!

If the Safety Institute of Australia was really representing a profession then it would remove all unqualified members, Fellows and Chartered Fellows and only allow them to be Associate Members untill they showed the committment to safety and the competence in the field by gaining formal tertiary qualifications.

As it is they have come up with some totally unprofessional entrance test becuase the members and higher lack the actual knowledge and more important the actual committment to safety to gain a qualification! And with Father's and Son's and Husbands and Wives running the organisation it will stay the same and Safety will not be recognised as a profession until someone has the guts to stand up to this corruption.
