This action had been going on for years and culminated recently in two weeks in court only to be adjourned for six weeks for more discovery.

Throughout this CASA has been appraised yet is incredibly not involved in the proceedings saying that are not involved.
Wasn’t the gentleman in the left hand seat the CP at Hartwig Air, a charter company that is a sister company to the Bruce Hartwig Flying School?

If the legal proceedings you describe are ongoing, how is it that BHFS can advertise a partnership with RMIT and offer “fee help available”? Surely the Education Minister would / should have something to say on the matter if public money is involved?
