Allegations raised by Mr. Carmody regarding "assault" and stalking"
21/11/20
Dear Mr Carmody, CEO of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority,
I refer to your attendance at the Senate RRAT Estimates Committee and associated comments that you made about me on 20/11/20.
I made my presentation between the 3-hour 50 minute mark through until 4 hours and 32 minutes. Immediately after my presentation, you were offered the right to reply and I have attached a link to your presentation at that inquiry.
Rural & Regional Affairs & Transport - 20/11/2020 08:49:59 ? Parliament of Australia
I refer to comments that you made at the 4 hour and 38-minute mark where you claimed “He has assaulted my staff, he has stalked my staff”
Whilst I appreciate that in making such comments you are protected by Parliamentary privilege. That Parliamentary privilege is intended to allow full and frank disclosure of matters. It is not intended for the CEO of CASA to make false allegations against an individual or to blatantly lie and mislead Parliament, and more so considering your position as the CEO of CASA.
Whilst I do appreciate that you were somewhat “rattled” and may not have had the clarity of mind that would be ideal in such a situation, I would like to afford you the opportunity to correct that blatant untruth.
For clarity, I absolutely and totally refute that claim, and as you will appreciate that comment has bought angst to my family.
The purpose of this correspondence.
If you stand by that claim that I assaulted and stalked your staff, can I request the details of those allegations? Are you able to provide any supporting details of such incidents? Ideally, this would include details of the alleged incidents such as dates, times, and circumstances of the alleged assault or stalking matters.
My assumption is that such matters would be held by CASA on file, there would be Workcover documentation, a formal complaint lodged within CASA, or something similar.
If you are unable or unwilling to support those allegations my intention would be to make a Freedom of Information request to obtain any supporting documentation and fully refute that scurrilous allegation and a blatant untruth.
Respectfully, Glen Buckley.
