I quote from the Airservices Australia 2002 - 2003 Annual Report.


Charter letter from Minister of Transport and Regional Services (received by Airservices Australia on 26 Oct 1999).

Airservices is to retain responsibility for the design, declaration and management of airspace. CASA will retain the responsibility of setting the minimum standards for the safe operation of each class of Australia airspace, and the procedures to be used by air traffic controllers and pilots in each class of airspace. It will also be able to require the upgrading of a particular zone of airspace on safety grounds. Where CASA proposes such a change, it will identify a clear safety justification for the change and accompany the proposal, with supporting evidence in the form of a safety case.
Further, "The Minister made no formal directions to Airservices during, or after the end of, the financial year."
Can someone enlighten me as to what instrument is being used to implement NAS? Exactly how have the Boards of Airservices Australia and CASA been directed to do so?
