I wasnt going to publish this, as it is a bit embarrassing and back slapping, nevertheless here it is. I truly believe that CASA has portrayed me as a nutcase (which most certainly was not the case prior to October 2018, this was intended to counteract that. Sadly, i have little confidence in the Ombudsman investigation and intend to depend on my local MP for assistance going forward.

Dear Ms Garland,
I apologise that I am bombarding you with emails. Please note there are other recipients including the CASA Board.
As you are aware CASA closed my two businesses down, and I then obtained employment in the industry until CASA wrote to my Employer, and directed that my continuing employment was no longer tenable based on comments that I was making publicly. I was terminated and left the industry.
After a nervous breakdown and a period of unemployment, I obtained employment as a Youth Justice Worker in a custodial facility with Victoria's most challenged males in the 18 to 21 age group. It's a dangerous but challenging role. It involves many of the same skills I drew on in my aviation career. Sound decision making, good intent, standards, ethics, mentoring, dependability, risk assessments, etc.
The purpose of this correspondence is to inform you that each year a Directors Award is presented to the Youth Justice Worker of the Year. I am proud to be the recipient of this years award, and i quote.
Glen has been recognised for his commitment to making a difference in the lives of young people. In particular, Glen’s efforts have been recognised on multiple occasions from young people providing positive feedback through the Independent Visitor Program to which the Commission for Children and Young People appreciate Glen’s efforts. Additionally, the Youth Parole Board have also held Glen in high regard with his support to those young people transitioning back to the community. Glen embodies the values of Youth Justice and his can-do attitude makes him an exceptional role model to others around him.
The purpose of providing that information is as a character reference for myself.
As the person who had his well being decimated by Mr Jonathan Aleck, please be assured there is a very significant story to be told here. I am making a further appeal to you Ms Garland as my local MP. I am a 57 year resident of the electorate, my family desperately needs your assistance. I appreciate that you have limited resources and a high workload, but I thank you for your support to date, and thank you in anticipation of that continuing support.
Please be assured that there is a story to be told here, and if told it will demonstably improve aviation safety in this Country and the industry is watching closely.
Respectfully, Glen Buckley
