As with qualification notations to my license, CASA require the record, not me. CASA should be bear responsiblity for the associated cost.

Like much of the "user pays" jargonistic spin, it's not actually the real user who is paying. This new fee shares in common with their many others that it is neither just nor reasonable. It just is, because some greasy pole climbing CASA bureacrat saw promotion in the idea in age where he can not only get away with it, but which promotes and rewards such perfidy.
