According to the Rule of Law Institute, coercive powers are the new tool , and most sort after power for crazy bureaucrats, bureaucrazies and others.
Is 117.015 in fact, legal. ??
Does CASA have proper laws to legally blackmail a person into answering a questionaire with the threat of 50 penalty points under strict liability?.
Probably not..but BS rules.OK
What happened to the right to remain silent.? One doesn't have to say anything that may incriminate yourself or others
You could make some deliberate or accidental wrong answers and you are still not off the hook because CASA specifies.."accurate answers"
Who decides whether an answer is "accurate" or not?.
Some office plonker who doesnt comprehend the meaning of the question either.? Or just doesnt like the answer, or it's not considered "correct" in their opinion? WTF!
IMHO this is yet another example for a)... getting yr rights trampled,
..and b) ... telling CASA to FCUK OFF.
Unless the Industry fights back, this sort of thing will get steadily worse.
As if it isnt bad enough already !
The rule of Law ? ...or the "Law" of Rules. Your call.
