I copied the below 'statement of pooh' directly from the CASA website. I have bolded the parts I believe are laughable and pure ****e.
I also noted that the Skull is still referred to as the CEO. Isn't he the Director?
Creampuff have I got this right mate? If so they should be issued a NCN for 'incorrect org structure'!
Who we are
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) was established on 6 July 1995 as an independent statutory authority. Under section 8 of the Civil Aviation Act 1988, CASA is a body corporate separate from the Commonwealth.
CASA's primary function is to conduct the safety regulation of civil air operations in Australia and the operation of Australian aircraft overseas. It is also required to provide comprehensive safety education and training programmes, cooperate with the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, and administer the Civil Aviation (Carriers' Liability) Act 1959.
The Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 2002, made under authority of the Civil Aviation Act, provide for general regulatory controls for the safety of air navigation. The Civil Aviation Act and the Regulations empower CASA to issue Civil Aviation Orders on detailed matters of regulation. CASA charges for the provision of some services under the Civil Aviation (Fees) Regulations (1995).
Other legislation affecting CASA in the exercise of its powers include the:
Air Navigation Act 1920
Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997
Auditor-General Act 1997
Ombudsman Act 1976
Freedom of Information Act 1982
Privacy Act 1988
Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975
Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977
The Chief Executive Officer manages CASA, and is responsible to the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government.

Government Policy
In November 2003, the Federal Government issued CASA with a new Charter Letter. This Letter sets out strategic directions for CASA, outlines CASA's governance arrangements and sets out the Government's policy framework for aviation.
In the Charter Letter, the former Minister for Transport and Regional Services, The Hon John Anderson MP, summarises the Government's directions for CASA:
‘I wish to see CASA demonstrate world's best practice in the area of aviation safety regulation. In its daily dealings, CASA must exhibit those behavioural attributes of a good regulator including consistency, accountability, fairness, flexibility and efficiency.
The CASA reform process must be taken forward to achieve the Government's aim of a simple-to-follow regulatory system and a new and improved organisational culture. These objectives must be accompanied by explicit benchmarks and a capacity within CASA to demonstrate in a measurable and accountable way how and when these objectives will be met.’
Our Functions
CASA’s four major functional areas of responsibility are:
Setting civil aviation standards that are appropriate, clear, concise and aligned with international practice
Providing regulatory services to industry in a timely and responsive manner
Securing compliance with Australian aviation standards effectively, fairly and in a consistent manner; and
Fostering an informed and safety motivated aviation community
These functions are further defined and performance measures articulated in CASA’s Corporate Plan.
Our Conduct
The community has a right to expect high standards of service based on sound ethical values.
The CASA Code of Conduct states that CASA staff must:
act honestly and fairly;
be courteous and helpful;
comply with all lawful and reasonable instructions given to them by a person entitled to do so; and
so far as priorities and resources permit, apply the highest possible standards of professionalism in everything they do.
Here is a link also their website and the small tiny printed section titled - Industry Complaints Management. Not much detail but a listing of complaints registered against Fort Fumble in the first 6 months of this year.You have to scroll down a little.
