Sure!
But after $51,101 there is the real winner.

Still a few days to go unless we have another pause.

Sitting at $44,361 - $831 since the restart about 24 hours ago.

Game On!!!!

Popping my head up again.

The GoFundMe is up and running again, after an administrative delay that was a result of my reluctance to move any funds into my own account. With some exceptional support from GoFundMe, we are up and running.Thanks again for the support.

The background work has begun, and immediately on achieving the goal I will move to stage one and see if I have a valid basis for a claim. Ultimately it is the CASA Board that is accountable for the conduct of the personnel within CASA and that is clearly stated on their website;

“CASA BoardThe CASA Board is appointed by the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport. The Board is responsible for deciding the objectives, strategies and policies to be followed by CASA and for ensuring that CASA performs its functions in a proper, efficient and effective manner.”

I have met with the Chair of the CASA Board, and there can be no doubt that they have been fully briefed by me on the topic. The Chair has enough information to determine if the Board will stand behind the

· Aviation Group-Executive Manager
· Executive Manager- Regulatory Services and Surveillance
· Regional Manager
· Flight Operations Inspector

The Board has obviously elected to support the four personnel against

· The Ministers Statement of Expectations.
· CASAs Regulatory Philosophy
· Administrative Law
· The PGPA Act
· decency and ethics
· My allegations of unlawful conduct i.e. Regional Manager directing my Employer to cease my employment based on my public comments which have been restricted to Prune.

Well, that time is coming. We will find out if im just some little pain in the arse, or am I the victim of gross malpractice. The opportunity approaches for those four CASA personnel to defend their conduct, and for the Minister and Board to stand behind those personnel.

I cannot wait for the opportunity for both sides to present their case.

Glen just remember at any time you can opt out.

Many of us wish you do not - even if you never peruse the second stage.

It is clear that I support you and the GFM page and for the record I could have made one large donation, but did not only a few to get it rolling.

I have made (it looks like) 9 donations since the start, I do not think many have made that amount of donations and most only a single donation.

My many donations is a total of $852 and that gives GFM around $3.

Your average donation is still (with me dragging it down) nearly $200, that says a lot.

You will hit your target mate,take care and be strong.

Bendy.

I think you need a “plan B” to protect your sanity and your family.

I’m serious. I have a friend that we are now trying to support who was found with the rope already over the beam as a result of a marriage break up and unpleasantness. This stuff can do your head in.

Thats very good advice. CASA neither care or are likely to engage with you. You run a very big risk here, you are now at a point where it is no longer about right or wrong. Take the plan B advice, family and sanity are worth far more than fighting corruption

Glen,

I wish you the strength and courage required to see this process through. I have a 'friend' that was continually warned about the financial cost of seeing a recent legal action through.

'Cut your losses'
'it'll cost more than it's worth'
'it's not worth the mental anguish'
'it's not worth the affect it has on you and your family'

My 'friend' weighed up all of the above and decided to continue. It was extremely tough, it cost money (justice is only available in Australia if you pay for it), but the end result was worth the action. The lawyers said at the time, you won't necessarily be happy with the end result but it has to be something you can live with.

None of the people posting on here, advising you to give in knows what you have been through. None of them know truly what you have lost. I dare say very few of them have had the cohunas to see something like this through.

Stay the course, there will be many opportunities through out the process to re-assess the course of action.

In the end, it's you who will decide at what stage this action ends. And I dare say it, there may be a day of reckoning coming that will change this industry forever, let us see!

Thumbs up Glen.

All fair comments guys, each can handle stuff in different ways.

My comment was just at any time Glen can change his mind and not think I will be wronged in any way. I think others feel the same.

Glen, just understand that no one will think the less of you if you walk away. You already have our admiration for taking things this far. I know that the toll of your action on yourself could perhaps be more than anyone should have to bear. Please make sure you have some sort of parachute.

Porter, PM.

Yes of course, if I could elaborate, Glen, I think it's clear that at any time should you decide enough is enough that everyone would think no less.

And I wouldn't want my contributions back!!

True thing. You've already made it, raised almost $50k at the time of writing: you've proved your point. You're already a legend mate.

(Now go get'em, Tiger!)

Giving up- NOT AN OPTION

Good morning all, and yet again thanks for the support.

Let me be very clear.

The inappropriate conduct of the four personnel in CASA has cost me everything. I worked with CASA for years building APTA and getting it approved. I attended to every new legislative requirement that they placed on me.

The complete policy backflip has left me without a home, and my life savings gone. At 55, no bank is going to give me a home loan. I cannot walk awy from this, because I will be subjecting my wife to abject poverty until her last day.


No.

Mr Graeme Crawford, Mr Craig Martin, Mr Jason McHeyzer, and Mr Brad Lacy will have the opportunity to defend their conduct, as will the CASA board.

The day of reckoning approaches.

Every cent that everybody has so generously donated will be used to provide the opportunity for them to defend their conduct.

I’m still following this thread.

So if the 50k review says yes go for it.

Where will the million plus come from to fight the gubment? I’m not scare mongering just pointing out the reality of what a drawn out case could cost.

I am certainly behind you and hope you defeat the evil empire.

Lastly why wait for 50k? Surely the near 50k is enough to engage the review? Which law firm have you selected?

Moving forward

Global Aviator, I have commenced the process in anticipation of reaching the goal.

If that assessment comes back with a high probability of a win, I have arranged access to litigation funding. That is in place, and will proceed.

There is nothing to stop the four personnel from CASA having the opportunity to fully justify there conduct.

The claim will potentially be a class action with a number of other businesses that have been affected by the malpractice of the named personnel.

I wont reveal the name of the law firm at this stage. Once revealed I think CASA will find they are dealing with someone more substantial than they could possibly have imagined.

Whether it is I that is found wanting or the CASA personnel will be determined by someone not on the CASA payroll.

There may well be two cases because I will also be pursuing an unfair dismissal claim based on the direction that Mr Mc Heyzer sent my employer to terminate my employment.

After 12 months of unbearable trauma, I can see light at the end of the tunnel.

I feel a big broom will go through CASA at the end of this, and hopefully a board change wqill accompany that.
