Wren, the regulatory system is so totally compromised that no real reform is possible. The "forums" in my opinion produce an effect like pissing in a wetsuit. Nice warm feelings for all the attendees,, but no visible output for the rest of us.
The sheer volume and complexity of CASA's output is the indicator of a totally broken and out of control system.
The only available cure is to rewrite the Act and then break CASA up into regulator and a separate enforcer.
Oh! And get rid of the sham "government business enterprise" model that makes me almost physically sick - paying people "commercial market" salaries while they hide behind an unaccountable "public servant" facade.
To put that another way, the whole of Avmed and CLARC would be fired in an instant if they attempted to deliver the service levels they do in a commercial operation.
To put that yet another way: How dare CASA send me a text message ordering me to do something?
