Not a chance of getting through.
No chance through a terminal, but you are unlikely to be flying anything that requires the pilot to have a Leatherman at a terminal with that sort of security anyway. If you don't use the terminal to access your aircraft you are unlikely to be screened, so you can take it with you.
You could just leave it in your aircraft, as no one is going to inspect it. The main issue comes if you want to pax home after a flight and don't want to check it in.
The airside engineers always have a multi-tool on them, no one ever questions it.
As for CASA, they don't care, this is a Security issue not a Safety issue.
