No Confidence. Vote here.
Well, the gauntlet has been thrown down, the challenge accepted.
If enough support can be indicated, anonymously, here on Pprune it is proposed that a formal petition be presented to one of our aviation aware Senators for consideration by the Senate.
Petition is HERE
The properly drafted petition will present a No Confidence statement in the Director, Deputy Director and Executive Manger Legal Services; and call for the immediate independent investigation of the complaints raised within the petition.
In our opinion the CASA is not providing Australia with the service required, frivolously wastes vast sums of tax payer money, deceives the Minister and achieves inferior safety outcomes. The negative impact of the ideology and management of the CASA is acting to provide a probable negative safety outcome which will, one day result in a serious accident.
I and many others believe the current ethos of maximum administrative punishment, minimum criminal prosecution and the almost total lack of quantifiable safety outcomes is detrimental to achieving increased, outcome based safety standards.
There are many issues; but radically the pervading 'Culture of Fear', intimidation, mendacity and total lack of accountability has been allowed to become a 'normalised deficiency'.
1000 signatures would be regarded as 'an avalanche of expert opinion'; 5 times that number would ensure the way aviation safety is regulated and managed a matter of national concern.
It should be, but who else apart from the victims of this arrogant, self regulating, self aggrandising, crippled thing we refer to as the 'Safety Authority' would know ?.
Speak now, or forever hold your peace.
Selah.
