Alas, CASA created itself.

The Parliament didn’t make and can’t change the legislation that created CASA and defines and constrains its functions and powers. Governments therefore can’t introduce any legislation into the Parliament to change anything.

Alas, CASA funds itself.

CASA prints its own money. The Parliament doesn’t pass appropriation Bills appropriating money from consolidated revenue for CASA to spend.

There is nothing anyone can do. All the Parliament can do is sit by and occasionally wave a rhetorical fist at CASA.

(Pssssst. Pssssst. Yes: Over here. I’ll let you in on a secret:

Actually, the government could legislate to do whatever it liked with CASA, including disappearing it.

But the government doesn’t want to.

It doesn’t want to, because it doesn’t need to in order to protect its political interests. )
