This e-mail just arrived on my desk from an unknown source.
Apparently the person has been seeking a meeting with the CASA Board.
I post the details and now ask - Is this a serious breach of democratic process??

It has come to my attention that you have been attempting to contact CASA Board member Helen Gillies.
On behalf of the Board, I request that you do not contact Board members by telephone or email. I advise individual board members will not be responding to any direct approaches from you.
I have communicated to you below the means of communication the Board is prepared to accept from you and request that you abide by that.

I have liaised with the Chair of the CASA Board. In the event you wish to provide a complaint to him, then he will only receive it in writing and by mail. If you mark any envelope “private and confidential” or “to be opened by addressee only” it will not be opened before receipt by the Chair.
In the event this is not acceptable to you, but your complaint involves allegations of criminal conduct, you may care to direct such complaint to the Australian Federal Police. Alternatively, if the matters relate to maladministration, you may care to direct such a complaint to the Commonwealth Ombudsman.

AND the request was, direct to both Helen Gillies and Allan Hawkes:

To: SKM
Subject: Letter for Helen Gillies
Dear Helen,
I wish to provide some information to the CASA Board and am concerned that it could be diverted by either Mr. McCormick or your secretariat, as it is of a highly confidential nature, if directed through normal channels.
If these issues were to fall into the wrong hands, I am concerned that records could be destroyed or "lost".
I would like to be able to address the Board on a series of matters, which, in part involve the use of known criminals to prosecute a pilot and of false statements made by CASA employees to attempt to prosecute an owner.
I can provide support documents, but that needs to be on the above basis, of no involvement by CASA itself and that the Board independently deals with the matters raised.
