More truth revealed
Dear Senator Xenophon,
While you are participating with the senate enquiry could you please call up senior CASA managers both past and present and ask these individuals the following questions;
1 . Does CASA agree that at numerous and continuous times throughout its life it has deliberately and purposefully harassed, intimidated, punished and destroyed individuals reputations and livelihoods within the aviation sector out of spite, incompetence, ego stroking and sheer stupidity ? Does CASA agree that when these issues are raised they are covered up, manipulated, glossed over and hidden by none other than Human Resource executive managers?
2. Does CASA agree that it has been lead at the most senior levels both previously and presently by management who have a background based upon intimidation, segregation, harassment, bullying and general anti social behavior with an attitude of contempt, disregard and borderline criminal towards industry and staff?
3. Does CASA agree that it has allowed serving staff take unpaid leave and work for AOC holders creating a conflict of interest, with full knowledge and approval of senior management including HR? Recently when the AOC audit of Strategic Airlines was conducted why did the CASA Brisbane Field Office Manager agree to the two assigned audit FOI’s to go yachting with the Strategic CEO the weekend after the audit finished on a Friday? This being one case of MANY. Can CASA explain why it hires back staff who resign as consultants paying them triple the money to perform the same role they undertook weeks or months before? Can CASA’s Human Resources executive justify these actions and explain why many of these consultancy tasks are not advertised or tendered, rather just given to mates at very handsome rates ? Are these the actions of an organization that is being lead by competent, trustworthy management in full control or by a conglomerate of proud conceited bigots whose morals and ethics know no bounds? Is this acceptable to the Australian public, the taxpayer forking out for this act of arrogance?
4. Can CASA explain why taxpayer funds are needed to pay for the remuneration of a Director, Assistant Director, Associate Director and a board made up of bureaucrats that when combined together do not have the ability to achieve the purchase the morning paper ?
5. Can CASA explain why they recently were a hairs width away from receiving a downgraded safety category in part due to cost cutting measures in reducing staff numbers in areas such as training and development which is actually a requirement for ‘the state’ under ICAO annexes ? Why do those decision makers, Human Resources management remain employed, giving themselves self promotion and huge salary increases? Why were some of those decision makers not people from an aviation background but again from CASA’s Human Resources department?
6. Why has CASA as a government department in the past 12 months received an alarmingly huge amount of staff harassment actions racked against managers, had a jump in union membership by 23% due to a systematic campaign of bullying, harassment, intimidation and victimization by senior managers at the executive management level and above, particularly again within Human Resources ? Why do these same people boast about not having to answer to the Director, Minister of even the public, and also boast that they are above the law?
7. Why did CASA have a working group called ASOP who were allowed to commence 34 projects over a period of 3 years, yet not one project was completed, all at the taxpayer’s expense and no accountability taken by senior management, particularly the now acting Director?
8. Why has CASA learned nothing from ‘Lockhart River’ and in fact developed a systemic internal system void of any solid leadership, technically skilled inspectors, a complete breakdown of workable processes and until 8 weeks ago did not have a structured quality training program for inspectorate staff until hearing that the FAA and ICAO were going to tear through the place again this month? Can CASA explain why they are solely a reactive organization rather than an oversight body that should act predicatively to prevent accidents happening? Can the Director explain why he is unable to make a sound decision on any matter without the permission of the Human Resources executive manager who boasts continually about how he and his staff run the place as they see fit and are proud of this fact and proud of how the Director has his balls held between the Minister and the HR managers hands?
9. Can CASA explain it told a senate enquiry two years ago that it has a system in place to train inspectors (did not commence until 8 weeks ago), and that it has undergone cost cutting exercises to remove the amount of inspectors, remove flying and certification for aircraft type from inspectors so as to save money, again actioned by the Human Resources executive manager and now assistant Director? Where is the accountability? Can CASA explain why its senior managers remain in those roles when they have multiple litigation issues pending against them internally and externally due to abysmal intimadatory behavior?
10. Can CASA explain why its workforce have been secretly discussing the putting in of a motion of no confidence in the Director, Assistant Director and Human Resources executive manager who have been campaigning against past and present staff, sullying these staff members reputations and destroying individuals careers all while representing an Australian government department and Australian interests ? Is this acceptable to the citizens of Australia?
11. Is it feasible that the Director of CASA be known as a bully, tyrant, and an integral part of the Cathay Pacific Star Chamber prior to employment with CASA, who harassed, bullied and sacked innocent staff? Is it acceptable that the Deputy Director be promoted to that role while under investigation for his actions of bullying, intimidation and manner involving a certain Western Australia operator?
As you can see Senator, if you scratch the surface of this sore be prepared to encounter a malignant underlying festation. Are you prepared to go the whole way Senator Xenophon? Are you prepared to dig deep into the bowels of this misaligned bunch of misfits whose tentacles spread far and wide? Are you really prepared to call up the persecuted staff past and present, the persecuted aviators who have been harassed, bankrupted and destroyed by an organization which holds no accountability? Pilot hours are only a small issue that the senate should address. There is much much more pus that needs to be lanced from this out of control Gestapo organization. Executive management deliberately and wilfuully turningg its back on public service laws, government laws and raccountability requirements, ritualistic abuse of staff and industry.Time for the Australian government to stop protecting this malignant organization and accept that it has a basket case on its hands and agree to clean house. Mr. Albanese you have a lot to answer for.I would suggest to all of you out there reading about these issues become one force regardless of age, gender or background. Fight to get rid of this empire of incompetence because the system is failing you as individuals, and failing your loved ones every time their aircrafts wheels leave the ground due to a bunch of overpaid animals bulging with greed and ego and the need to self protect their own interests rather than serve and protect the travelling public.
