Interesting story "K", I also heard a similar rumour and that the buckets of money involved make the +$250 million wasted on the RRP pale..

ASRR update:
Fort Fumble is coming up the list of the 24/7 news cycle's favourite 'sound bites' for all the wrong reasons...
Here is DN's (ABAP mag) latest update on the Forsyth report:
Aviation Associations support most of Forsyth report
25 Jun 2014
Doug Nancarrow
The Australian Aviation Associations Forum (TAAAF) has issued a statement strongly supporting the recommendations of the recent Forsyth Report in the regulation of aviation safety – except for one.
The TAAAF has asked the Minister to immediately reconstitute the CASA Board in accordance with the principles outlined in the report.
It has also asked that the Minister not extend the term of the current CASA Director of Aviation Safety beyond the current extension to August 31.
And it wants the immediate establishment of the Aviation Industry Consultative Council as per Coalition policy.
A really good suggestion was that the Forsyth Report trio “be asked to return in 12 months time and provide another report on progress towards implementation of those recommendations”.
The only recommendation not supported related to the provision of unedited information to CASA from ATSB reporting schemes due to possibility that this information would be used irresponsibly and/or unjustly.
The TAAAF says that this recommendation could be supported once industry regains confidence in CASA.
The TAAAF also called on the Government to immediately defer the implementation of CASR Part 61 – Flight Crew Licensing until it has been put through the ASRR report recommendation of conversion to three tiers of regulation.
Overall though the TAAAF statement was very positive about the Report.

TICK TOCK? Yes indeed Minister, most certainly TICK TOCK!!!
