CASA's charter isn't too bad, just needs to be implemented.
Legal Services have a lot to answer for, and probably will.
CASA aims to be a model litigant.
Really? Troll through AAT transcripts, you may just find that they prefer to be a malicious, aggressive, vindictive and dishonest litigant.
Fair and transparent processes. Really?
What went on at the now sanitized (to some degree) Nth Qld Area Office was in fact criminal, and will be eventually exposed as such.
There are other area offices who will have egg on their faces in a proper, thorough and independant investigation.
Regrettably, Lockhart River, Australia's greatest aviation tragedy in 40 years, is the trigger for this, and how CASA conducted itself in the light
of ATSB finding them wanting.
There are many who have some evidence of the Inquest being stage managed,
this too will come to light.
Its time for CASA to conduct its business at the same calibre as ATSB, something the Miller report failed to grasp.
The Miller report is as close to the money as the Skehill report, which found no basis for allegations of misconduct in CASA Townsville,
sadly, history now reveals just how sordid and disgusting was the conduct of many CASA staff in that office.
Again, NQAO was not alone in the misconduct stakes, so far the only one to be reasonably effectively purged.
The terms of reference are broad, that is good,
but it must lead to a Judicial Inquiry so that the offenders can face a Judge or Magistrate,
depending on the severity of their misconduct.
Otherwise, as predicted, the realistic outcome will be nothing.
And Creamy, before you jump in defending the indefensible, maybe it was ethical when you left, that's a while ago now.
Understand that all is not as it seems, or as it should be, there are a lot of matters that, when properly aired, may or may not surprise you.
