Cream puff,
Are you implying it is all part of the civil aviation act and Atsb and casa are just following that direction?
Casa and Atsb could fix a lot of the issues. First job is restoring or getting credibility with individuals and industry. Getting away from the adversarial approach doesn't mean 'being too nice' and not doing the job.
Flyingfox, senator Xenophon mentioned bullying and I think that needs fixing! Even if not true to dispel the belief.
