When I arrived, in March 2009, it was clear CASA needed an organisational structure focussed on what the Parliament of Australia had intended when it made the very significant amendments to the Civil Aviation Act it did in 1995
Folks,
Amazing that highly qualified such as Mr. Justice Bill Fisher ( Chairman of the CASA board in 1996 ) and all the CASA board members, including lawyers, since, or Director/CEOs since, or any of the DoT etc or anybody in the A-Gs, or any of the highly paid legal advisers to CASA missed what Mr. McCormick found so blindingly obvious on his arrival.
Quite amazing, I hope all the incompetents refund their fees/salaries/bonuses ---- obviously Mr. McCormick is worth far more money, with his clarity of vision, to which all his predecessors have been blind. Indeed, apparently even the principal author of the said amendments to the Act didn't even understand the meaning of "his own" legislation, and it has taken all these years for somebody to turn up who "really understands".
Or perhaps, just perhaps, this is no more than one person's view of legislation that can be interpreted in different ways, not necessarily as absolute and prescriptive as the McCormick preferred interpretation.
Tootle pip!!
