Thank you for your thoughts.
Many in the industry wish it were how you describe.
Many in the industry, however, are confronted with behaviour that doesn't reflect the desired model.
There is no paranoia, no slander, just carefully documented hard evidence that will be tabled at the Royal Commission.
The AAT does not prosecute, nor recommend prosecution, nor award costs.
The AAT either upholds an appeal, or dismisses it, based on the facts presented
(CASA embrace the term "Facts and Circumstances" to really mean "Allegations and Suppositions")
The term "Despicable Behaviour" however is on record with the AAT, and it did not reflect on the character of the appellant.
Yes, this business is being quietly sorted out, within the constraints of vicarious culpability.
However, no signal is being sent out as to the consequences of not behaving.
The wound has been bandaged, but may continue to fester.
Surgery and post operative care is the answer to curing the wound and to prevent contagion.
I have been reasonably comfortable with the regulator over the years.
What has happened in recent years, from first hand experience and observing at close range others affected,
is cause for concern.
Those observations included within the regulator and within the industry.
The results of those observations are now recorded fact.
I do believe that the regulator is attempting to put it's house in order,
although some sweeping under the carpet is necessary given the urgency.
Then we may have the ideal world as you see it, rather than the real world as others experience it.
To those who have been following this thread with genuine interest,
I will not be posting further on matters CASA, but instead will wait a month or two for evidence of corrective action.
The work has started, and I would like to see it completed first.
arrived at destination, cancel SAR
