to me from the Aust. Public Service Commission that their code of conduct, complete with criminal provisions does NOT apply to employees of a Commonwealth Authority, as is CASA.
So does that make CASA persons non Public servants, just employees of a Govt Authority, altho they claim to be "public servants"
Presumably ATSB...for what its worth..is the same
CASA has its own "Code" (sic)...with NO criminal provisions.
Cobbled up no doubt by those on LSD from CYA 101.
How self protective..how convenient.!
Up until a few years ago the CASA code wasn't even a public document.
Its a deliberate and disgusting "oversight" that needs to be rectified.
There is no excuse for these "federal public servants" not to be under the same set of Code rules.
And as for CASA not having the funds to contribute to recovery of the black box...BS tru.!! CASA has the $$s and then some to urinate up the wall on interstate and overseas "jollies", never a problem then.
Yet another example of CASA's real interest in "safety".
