CASA already employs over 3000 people. There are less than 60,000 people employed in aviation in Australia (Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics). That is 1 to 20 ratio of overseers to employees. Bear in mind that many of those 60,000 CASA have absolutely no interest in as they are in roles outside their immediate oversight.
It is a gross waste of public resources.
Aviation needs a champion in the Government, more than one in fact.
