Mr Jonathan Aleck the Executive Manager of Legal, International and Regulatory Services had misled the Ombudsman’s Office to be of the view that CASA first became aware of this structure six years later, just prior to October 2018, which is clearly not factual/truthful.
Can you confirm that CASA has now corrected this falsehood directly with the Ombudsman’s Office, or has CASA chosen to standby the assertion made by Mr Aleck, that CASA first became aware of the structure in October 2018.
An answer to this query will be integral to the investigation. I need to know whether this is a matter I need to prove to the Ombudsman’s Office. I apologize for involving you in this, but as I allege that Mr. Aleck has been dishonest in his dealings with the Ombudsman’s office, you are the most appropriate person in the Organizational Structure to approach on this matter, and to confirm CASAs position.
Yours thankfully, Glen Buckley
In 168 above you’ve posted a letter from CASA that might show its position is jumbled and makes it look as if it did know? The letter says:
CASA had an awareness of the APTA business model for a significant period of time prior to its compliance with regulation being called into question. In changing its position so drastically, the circumstances were such that CASA’s actions weren’t fair, given APTA’s likely to have relied on CASA’s failure to highlight any concerns when conducting its operations and planning.
