…. the Civil Aviation Act 1988 severely limits any intervention by the Board (or Minister) v. the power of the CEO, in much of CASA's activities.
That’s precisely my point. The ‘biggest’ change to CASA’s governance implemented by a government in around a decade is of no substantial consequence.
Successive governments have
deliberately chosen to limit their control of, and therefore
responsibility for, CASA’s activities. Why on earth, then, do ostensibly intelligent people continue to hope that any government is going to intervene to make any substantial change to CASA, this side of hell freezing over?
And risk management has been ‘enshrined’ in the Airspace Act 2007. Wow! So that’s why it stopped raining mid-air induced metal in Australia. Thanks Wozza.
