CASA tend to use the divisiveness in the Australian Aviation Industry to pick off individuals. We are all outraged at what goes on, but few take them on. Few have any sort of a win and none ever follow through after they have been "appeased" by "lame duck" apologies, out of court settlements and seen CASA slapped with a "recommendation" from The Commonwealth Ombudsman which they then ignore.
Paul Phelan has compiled a massive document, "The Phelan Papers" which document hundreds of examples of CASA misconduct.
Until readers here and elsewhere are prepared to put their name to a legitamate complaint for compilation in such a document, dissect those cases and take combined action under something like the "Public Interests and Test Case Scheme" with a very good team of publically funded lawyers we are all doomed to live in the system we have now.
I will challenge any lawyer who reads PPRune to kick this off with an offer to collate all and any persons legitimate complaint, (perhaps with Phelan), and investigate the possibilities of such a class action and be part of the legal team that can get and maintain the public attention that CASA deserve.
If it were a land rights case by half a dozen (insert creed and colour of your choice here), left handed (insert sexual preferences here), environmentalist, animal rights campaigner, or (insert minority interest group here), it would be in The High Court now.
In the meantime good luck on your individual fights with CASA.
