Brian. Paul wrote the article generally from copy CASA documents from the Barrister's brief. He gave CASA the opportunity to comment on the story before it was published. Whilst they made some comments (which were included in the article), no fundamental facts of the matter were ever refuted.
An interesting and significant conflict of CASA opinion occurred between 4th and 20th November 1997.
Creamie’s opinion of the matter was not shared by the then Director and a number of senior CASA staff. Indeed, even Creamie's comments here are generalised, subjective and unsubstantiated.
I have always been a staunch advocate of a strong regulator and indeed, CASA employs some excellent, competent, professional staff. Unfortunately, the problem appears to be a small minority of incompetent and vindictive staff.
