Sounds to me like an attempt by CASA to purge the system of inactive
pilots
who are presently hanging on to their licences in the hope that one day
they
will be able to afford to get back into it. If CASA achieves that goal
they
will save quite a lot on printing and postage.

The whole exercise might be nothing more than a political stunt to win
more
votes from an ignorant public.

You don't say!!
