I,m with Thorny. Bureaurats can say all sorts of things...doesnt mean its true or they even believe it.
On the receiving of a "Carmody" issue ..and CAsA are still at it...calling criminal code breaches , CAsA code of conduct breaches. Fraudulent thinking.
Bringing the CAsA "code" out of the funny comic book and into the real world, as with the APSC /Aust Public Service Commission, ...and asked for in the ASSR, would be a start...THAT contains criminal provisions !! CAsAs does not.
Certain CAsA issues..."investigations", Model Litigant Rules and FOI should all be dealt with by a separate independent agency....with teeth and bite.
Any CAsA "investigation" when CAsA persons are the problem is already biased to favour the employee. CYA 101in full swing !!
And as for UAVs/Drones...let CAsA have their head of steam of endless regs, penalties, permits and fees and they'll send this industry the way of PVT VH and much of GA....down the gurgler.
What we all should be hammering Chester D, Minister with is a call for a Judicial Inquiry into the whole rotten edifice, 'iron rings' and all.
Then...just maybe...
