Disclosing information to the media or any unauthorized person is an offense for Commonwealth Officers and carries a maximum penalty of two years imprisonment (Crimes Act 1914 s70). If anyone from CASA spilled the beans they'll be hunted down. I'd think that if they seriously suspected a leak it would have been bigger than a ring around, more like an email scanning, phone record reading, intimidating-interviews-for-all extravaganza.
Never say never, but I'd be surprised if any of their people took the risk for what's basically a tabloid tidbit. Tiger on the other hand; what have they got to lose by pointing the finger at one individual and yelling 'it was him what done it, everything else is peachy!' Not making accusations, just asking the question.
All the best to the pilot. With a few notable exceptions, Media suck.
