Damn it Frank I think you may be on to something!!
Some of the terms of reference: [My Bold]

Those terms I believe CAsA has used with impunity in bold. There is ample evidence to support that contention.
It would seem Frank has presented us another avenue for the IOS to bring to the government's attention the degree that corruption has firmly established itself within CAsA.
Minister Truss, you failed miserably to take action against this corruption last time you were in power, failure to do so this time is a guarantee that you and your party are doomed to irrelevance politically.
