Do you understand Glen, that your letter to Carmody will filter down through the CASA hierarchy, desk by desk, until it lands on the desk of your alleged tormentor?
Your tormentor will then write an explanation to Carmody, detailing their relationship with you, the substantive issues they found, their responses to you about the issues and your subsequent responses leading up to your letter. All of it slanted their way.
They will then write a section of this brief headed “Comment” in which they explore the policy issues your case raises, they will then go on to explore the options CASA has in resolving your matter, together with the pros and cons of each from CASA’s point of view, not yours.
They finish with a recommendation to Mr. Carmody and an attached letter to you over his signature with the final sentence recommending “that you sign the attached letter”.
This package called a brief, then goes back up the chain (and perhaps down a few times to fix loose ends) and eventually ends up back on Carmody’s desk for his signature along with Thirty other letters.
Your chances of Mr. Carmody taking any interest in your situation are zero...........That is unless the press and Minister get involved in which case you will receive Mr. Carmody’s full and personal attention.
Forget any notion you may have about receiving fairness, equity, due process or natural justice, you have stirred an ants nest. Public servants hate having to justify themselves. You have made enemies for life.
