Update from the Ombudsman
Our ref: 2019-713834
Dear Mr Buckley
I refer to our investigation of your complaint about the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).
I apologise for the delay in completing our investigation of this matter and in responding to your recent email.
At the outset, I also wish to acknowledge the significant personal toll I understand these issues have had and continue to have on you.
In your most recent email you asked that we consider postponing any further investigation of matters that are not related to the termination of your employment. In my view, the adverse effect of this whole issue upon yourself and the long-running nature of the dispute, means it is in everyone’s interest that we do not postpone our investigation. However, I accept it would be helpful to finalise our consideration of the initial issue you raised with our Office first – this being the issue of CASA’s email of August 2019.
While I don’t see a good reason to postpone our consideration of the other issues, I appreciate that you would like the opportunity to discuss these matters with us before we complete our assessment. I will make sure that you have the opportunity to discuss these matters with us before any final decisions are made. Depending on your availability, I am hopeful we can arrange a time to speak over the phone next week. Please let me know if there are any times next week that you may be available to take a call.
Kind regards

Let us begin;
Jug ears is on around $600k per year which excludes 15.75% super plus travel allowances and other treats from the taxpayer trough. That’s just the past 4 years. Prior to that he spent around 12 years earning around $400k per year excluding 15.75% super plus travel allowances and many many additional treats from the taxpayer trough while greasing his way through other Government departments. In total he spent 31 years in Government ‘administrative’ and bureaucratic roles, and then another 15 years prior to that in the armed forces. Total time on the Government payroll - 46 years! 46 years sucking on the public teat.
This bloke wouldn’t know how to run and manage his own business in the real world if the cure for COVID depended on it. His life experience is the Canberra bubble where the streets look like the Truman Show and slender Government folk work 3 hours per day working and spend the rest of the time eating Kale sandwiches while sipping celery and honey smoothies.
He, like many a CASA executive before him, shall retire with his millions and enjoy the luxuries of a wealthy retirement. He shall not be held to account for any of the malfeasance and misfeasance heaped upon industry and individuals during his tenure. My prediction is that during the gap between Jug Ears last working day and the new CEO trough swiller taking the reigns fully is when Mr Buckley will likely get a sudden paycheque that meets his financial satisfaction and there in one fell swoop will be Carmody forgotten, Glen forgotten and the new CEO will enforce a few minor changes and assist in burying previous Shennanigans!
Keep an eye on the mailbox Glen.

Paragraph
I believe a claim of misfeasnace in public office can be directed at an individual even after they have left the office of CASA, and if successful the individual may have to pay the claim. Im hoping someone here may be able to bring clarity to that.

Correspondence to Mr Carmody, Senate Estimates Committee, CASA Board
18/11/20
Dear Members of the RRAT Committee, the Commonwealth Ombudsman's Office, the CASA Board, and Mr. Shane Carmody
I have been presented with the opportunity to appear before the RRAT Senate Estimates on Friday 20th November 2020.
I am fully satisfied that the CEO of CASA, Mr. Shane Carmody has misled that inquiry with the intent to deflect Senator Susan McDonald and Members of the Committee, for the purpose of altering the Committee's findings.
It is important. If the CEO of CASA, Mr. Shane Carmody chooses to mislead you, that cannot possibly improve safety outcomes or the quality of the findings.
Such characteristics if unchecked may have allowed that unsafe characteristic to manifest through the Senior Executive of CASA and that is fundamental to my presentation on Friday 20th November.
At Senate RRAT on 20/10, you specifically asked Mr. Carmody about the issues between CASA and Glen Buckley.
In Mr. Carmody's response, he leads you to believe that there was only a single issue that I had with CASA. That issue was a matter of defamation against a single CASA Officer.
At the time of his response, he made a deliberate decision not to advise you of a claim that I have made against CASA that extends to many millions of dollars and is intended to fairly recompense the many Parties that have been affected by this. Personally, I have been bankrupted, but many staff, customers, and suppliers have also been unfairly affected. The allegations are against several members of the CASA Senior Executive and not a single CASA Officer. Mr. Carmody was fully aware of this when responded. He chose his words carefully but it's about "intent"
In reviewing the footage of his presentation he has not acted with "good intent", and that is essential to the inquiry. In reviewing his presentation there are numerous other examples that I am able to supply, both on my matter, and on others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WNd...ature=youtu.be
I raise this matter because the Commonwealth Ombudsman's Office is currently investigating these matters. I believe that Mr. Carmody has also been responsible for misleading information provided to the Commonwealth Ombudsman's Office, although that is a separate matter.
Dear Mr. Carmody, could I respectfully request that you provide the RRAT Committee with a copy of the claim that I have submitted to CASA prior to my presentation on 20/11/20.
Respectfully, Glen Buckley

Senate Committee:
I would like to see an independent investigation into culture within CASA.
- I suppose CMT3 wilted (as stated by Carmody) because Glen knew more than the manager?
- If Glen has harassed and stalked CASA staff members, why didn't they lodge a complaint with the relevant authority?
- Carmody seemed a little nervous when speaking with Sen. McDonald. The odd hand shake when not steadied by a firm surfaced to rest it on.

Never mind an "investigation " only a Royal Commisssion will get CAsA's ****ty nappies hung out on the public line for all to see.
And than ..if that doesnt get CAsA blown out of the water....we really are fcuked.
When you have liars and turd polishers like Carmody and Smart Aleck in charge, who have years of experience "snow jobbing" and bs-ing politicians, the its no wonder we are where we are today..

As Senator McDonald said: A lot of the people who I speak to are NOT HAPPY with casa.
As we all know well, many people will not appear in person due to the likely personal attacks or attacks on their business. Carmody showed today how to undertake a personal attack. Glen B, the "low flyer", the aopa lawyer and on.
The threatened pilot at casa head office, who was in a public area. Directly threatened by Carmody and his thuggish "security guy".
A disgraceful display from an overpaid thug.

Try this. Casa was the final representative. Allotted around 45 minutes but may have been longer.
Rural & Regional Affairs & Transport - 20/11/2020 08:49:59 ? Parliament of Australia

Senator Patrick and the Committee Secretary were in Canberra. The Committee Chair was working 'remotely', as was Senator Sterle.
