Well, golly gee, the '60's were over long ago, who'd a thunk it??
Good to see you are back in the current century! All those points you list a very familiar to those who read these pages (more than is probably healthy for us) but there is nothing new in what you have written. I am not an apologist for CASA by any means but often the narrative offered does not actually fit the facts. Unless you want to accuse the international body that oversights civil aviation of corruption then I think you will find that they don't have a problem with CASA. As evidence of this (rather than hearsay) here are the latest ICAO USOAP results. https://www.icao.int/safety/Pages/USOAP-Results.aspx The simple fact is the Government can ignore the noise from below and point to the laurels from above to demonstrate what a good job they are doing. So all the clamor for US style regs and an overhaul of CASA can be ignored when ICAO itself says there is room for improvement but in the words of Mr Grace " Carry on you are all doing very well".

As for Albanese don't hold your breath. He will be going to Wagga with his class struggle ideology front and centre. Where some see hard working businessman he will see the privileged classes who need to be squeezed harder to get the money to support the welfare state.
