Request by Glen Buckley for retraction of the allegation of assault and stalking.
Dear Mr. Colin MacLachlan, Chair of the Board of CASA, and all Board Members.
Please note that I have included other Parties in this email.
In Senate Estimates on 20/11/20, Mr. Carmody, the CEO of CASA raised allegations of criminal conduct against me, when he said the following.
“He has assaulted my staff, he has stalked my staff.”
I absolutely refute those allegations. These are significant allegations and impact on my reputation. I would like to provide Mr. Carmody the opportunity to fully retract his statement and unreservedly apologize for it.
If Mr. Carmody refuses to fully retract that statement and publicly apologize, I will refer this matter to the Senate Standing Committee of Privileges. There are rules associated with adverse reflections on a person, and I feel Mr. Carmody's comments have clearly breached these.
As this matter should be easily attended to, I request that this matter be finalized by way of a retraction and published apology by 5 PM on Tuesday 8th December 2020.
Respectfully, Glen Buckley
