Agreed sheppy, your mate is correct you can't fire them (begs the question of how CASA has PS conditions when it is an NGO) but you can redeploy said employees to a basement office playing computer games or do other things that make their career pointless and miserable until they take the package. Furthermore, you can make their jobs just disappear In a reorganization leaving them to reapply for new positions.
This is why a new DAS needs the backing of cabinet and the help of PM&C to effect change. PM & C do this sort of thing routinely they are experts at it - the Sir Humphrey of Sir Humphreys.
One way to do it might be to split CASA into two new organizations.
To put that another way, wouldn't the cost to industry and Australia be cheaper if CASAs senior management were placed on administrative leave with full pay until they retired?
