Senator FAWCETT: There is actually a broader issue, though,
Mr McCormick. There is no closed-loop system so that recommendations that are made by ATSB, that CASA agrees—particularly we have seen a number where, in a coroner's court, the coroner has said, 'We'll close out this issue, because ATSB
made a recommendation and CASA said they will do it,' and then a decade later there is has been no action. Is that an issue for the travelling public? I hear you that you were not there for that whole 10 years, but we are talking about a system now, not personalities. Is the system not working as it should?
Mr McCormick: I cannot speak for what happened in 2000. I only
got here in 2009. …
Senator FAWCETT: Mr Boyd, were you around?
Mr Boyd: Yes, but not in that position.
Senator NASH: Anybody else? Mr Farquharson? Dr Aleck?
Dr Aleck: I was in Montreal.
Creampuff: Apart from the stint in Montreal, Dr Aleck has occupied various senior management positions within CASA for an accumulated period of about 10 years to the present.
Messrs Farquharson and Anastasi, both of whom have been in CASA for all or most of the period 1999 to the present, were also at the table but, according to Hansard, remained silent.

Folks,
The comment by Creampuff is significant, perhaps the good Senators should ask about who was involved in the drafting of a CAO that completely changed the meaning of "Island Reserve", and placed specific fuel requirements on Norfolk, Lord Howe, Cocos etc. --- in 2000, or thereabouts, as a reaction to the Seaview Royal Commission.
