kma,
To the first point ---- there are no longer "thousands" of approved, the number have reduced dramatically in recent years, last time I saw the numbers for maintenance orgs., it was well well below 1000. You do recall, do you, the previous DAS/CEO of CASA, who publicly stated his intention to reduce approved orgs. to the number that CASA would " be comfortable to surveille", or words to that effect.
That is, if CASA believed it didn't have the "resources", it would reduce the industry to suit CASA.
As to the "broader aviation community", maybe not 100% all, but a damned large percentage, including 100% who has ever had an aggressive CASA audit.
As somebody else mentioned, read the Forsyth Report, bearing in mind the bulk of unpublished submissions, including airlines, were as equally critical of CASA as the published submissions, but they declined publication because of feared (an all too reasonable position) retaliation by CASA (remember Tiger Airlines).
Perhaps you would like to give us some indication of where you fit into the aviation scene --- an employee of CASA, perhaps?? Indeed, are you even part of the day to day aviation community.
Tootle pip!!
PS: You do understand, do you, that neither Buckley nor his company have been accused of breaches of the law. He has "just" been put out of business by a change of CASA "policy" --- a bureaucratic decision.
PS2: You really should acquaint yourself with the Rule of Law Institute of Australia and some of the papers by Robin Speed, AO, and others of legal eminence.
