CASA Board Facts Wrong

Re: A spokesman for Transport Minister Anthony Albanese said: "The Government has confidence in CASA's oversight of the Australian airline industry, including Qantas. In fact we have strengthened their oversight further by appointing for the first time a board for CASA."
Civil Aviation Safety Authority | Civil Aviation Safety Authority and cover up | Qantas | Airline safety

That is totally wrong, CASA did have a Board before but it was abolished and their CEO/Director reported direct to the Minister when it became dysfunctional a few years ago.

So either sloppy reporting or a Minister/Ministerial spokesman who doesn;t have a clue, or both.
