It's theoretically possible that they were influenced by a person or persons within CASA, but you'd want some pretty strong evidence before you started throwing that accusation around, because if you were wrong it would be pretty defamatory to both CASA and the DPP
Worrals if that was the case why did they refer it in the first place? Other than the obvious answer of a diversionary tactic.......or maybe some interdepartmental wrangling within the bowels of Fort Fumble and Albo's circus!
Q/ Is it a requirement that Minister Albo is kept informed of all fatal transport accidents?
If so it would be interesting to obtain any 'Ministerial Briefings' in regards to the Hempel accident! Perhaps an interested party could submit a well worded FOI request to Albo's circus, just a thought!
