Well folks, I'm a bit confused about the constant references to s24 of the TSIA 03.
I think someone intimated that the Chief Commissioner, by keeping his pennies in his purse and reducing the scope of the investigation to nothing useful, somehow breached a section of the Act that he is required to administer. So where does the line exist between his statutory agency management responsibilities and conducting open-ended investigations?
In a technical sense, can he authorise his own behaviour under paragraph 24(1)(d), thus rendering the allegation moot?
As for CASA (or anyone else for that matter), can they be guilty of an offence under subsection 24(1) by not volunteering information that may in hindsight be relevant? If the ATSB does not request certain information because they don't care, what duty of disclosure exists?
Presumably, the ATSB is the normal complainant of record for breaches of the TSIA 03. I wonder who might charge the Chief Commissioner with a breach of his "own" Act?
Creamie, are you able to help me out here?
Stay Alive,
