Why should CASA have anything to do with helicopters that have Filipino reg numbers that are operated overseas?
Alot of helicopters in Australasia are operated more or less 'on condition', anyone who says otherwise needs to get out more. If the CASA or the NZ CAA were serious about stamping out this practice they would have made tamper proof hour metres mandatory a long time ago.
Ok, the tuna boat heli companies take it to a new level, but it is an amazing experience flying off purse seiners, I could write a book about the positive aspects of this job. If you don't like it, stop complaining. No one tells a pilot to do this job, he does it by choice and it's his fault for not finding out more about the industry if he finds himself in the deep end.
