The offer from CASA is derisory. I am not a lawyer but I would have thought the mitigation steps CASA allegedly took are meaningless. However I stand to be corrected. Once the defamatory statement is “out there” it can go anywhere. The five grand is also derisory.
I suspect this offer is designed to be rejected as part of a broader strategy to portray CASA activity as fair and reasonable.
I wish you all the best.
On a general note, what sane individual would invest in Australian Aviation with this example fresh in their minds? How are jobs going to be created in this industry sector? THAT is the question backbenchers should be asking the Minister.
