I think CASA is on the wrong train of thought. Instead of pushing for self regulation and trying to shift more of the blame to pilots and operators they should be looking to simplify their mountain of regulations (and I don't mean by using trendy colour coded circle systems).
It would be a lot easier to follow the rules and keep your nose clean if there wasn't so much red tape to learn and stay current with (eg. do we really need hundreds of pages on duty and flight time restrictions for every type of operation known to man???). More clear cut regulations would also mean less loop holes for dodgy operators to use.
CASA if you are reading... NO to self regulation
YES to simplifying and removing red tape
