You’re assuming the Committee will make findings critical of CASA. That’s a brave assumption.
The best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour. The past behaviour of Senate Committees is bi-partisan abdication of responsibility to the ‘independent regulator’.
Still, it’s been a weird period in our history. It is remotely possible that the majority of the Committee will step up and take responsibility.
