our laws are made by politicians (often written by the Attorney Generals Department)
What then do The Office of Legal Counsel do to justify their budget, their insurance cover, their staff numbers and their consultative costs.
Why do we have ex CASA OLC people working for The Attorney Generals Department and some working as consultants?
I believe CASA make the laws that are then "rubber stamped" by ignorant politicians bereft of aviation knowledge, and understanding, after Attorney General "rubber stamping" and processing for Parliamentary consideration.
The word "safety"guarantees this process as nobody, who is answerable to anybody, wants anything to happen that may come back to bite them on the bum.
Civil Aviation Authority should never have had a name change to Civil Aviation Safety Authority. I believe that word, (SAFETY), in the name change was put there for the purpose of misuse.
