If CASA were doing their job of surveillance there would be no need to shut operations down.
That's absolutely outrageous.
At what then point are operators responsible for their own conduct?
If operators conduct themselves as Kendrick did, flagrantly allowing a culture of non-compliance to fester, what other outcome could result?
Shutting down an operator is surely the Big Stick of last resort? Your assertion is like saying if the police did their job properly no driver would ever lose their licence.
