Man, you have to stop this ****.
This tactic of writing letters to people within CASA and simultaneously posting them to PPRuNe HAS NOT WORKED.
And it WILL not work.
You need to understand that you will never, ever, defeat these guys using this tactic. It has cost you everything, and still you continue.
Please, for god's sake man, get a lawyer NOW. I am begging you. If'd you'd done so at the outset, you'd be in an entirely different place right now.
Somebody needed to say this, and nobody has stepped up.
There is no hope of success here without proper legal representation, and the first thing your lawyer will tell you is DO NOT CONTACT CASA AGAIN!
I started out thinking the same as you. It works when you are dealing with government in an environment where both sides adhere to the principles of fairness, equity and natural justice.
However it appears, although we haven’t heard CASAs explanation, that Glen has been denied that - something that CASA appears to get away with, at least in the AAT, by shouting: “but........SAFETY!!!!
While I could be mistaken, the issue at hand is how can Glen one day be told what he is doing is right, yet the next day it’s all wrong and we will shut him down? Nothing about “SAFETY’.
So Glen has taken his case to the court of public opinion, which seems far more powerful than other courts.
P.S I wouldn’t just be writing to politicians. I’d produce a press pack and send it to every paper, magazine, internet blog, current affairs program and radio station in the country. The pack starts with a press release (a specialised document, don’t try and write it without expert media help), an explanatory plain english section with no jargon and contact and website details. That worked for me after fighting with an Insurance company. I went through all the hoops but they still told me to eff off.
I wrote to the CEO and told him I had sent my paperwork to the ACCC, The Insurance complaints review tribunal and that the press pack was going out tomorrow with the heading ‘on the release: “xxxx your a sucker not a number”. He rang me two hours later saying “how much?”. He then explained the effect negative publicity would have on his business.
Your press release suggested heading? “So you want to reduce red tape Prime Minister?.
