CASA spends millions chasing Milton Jones aviation business

[gobbledock]

Putting a pin in a CASA voodoo doll !

I will start by saying that the following in no way should be interpreted as other than the jottings of an observer who has no interest in the matter other than a professional one in the outcome.

Now that is 'standard CASA deflection 101'! So you are merely a legal jotter who happens to be interested in aviation mischief ? Your trying to make the point that you are not related to CASA (you have also done this in a previous post) is laughable flyingfiend. It is also a standard attitude of a CASA employee to think he is smarter than the rest of the aviation commnity.
Flyingfiend You may comment that I am not 'as well versed in the law as you' but I can confidently say that 'you are not as versed at being grieved by a corrupt malfeasant organisation' as I have been on the receiving end of. Anyway, don't you have some high level philosophical wankery to attend to in Canberra? On your way.

The best spoon bender is the whitch doctor of casa, has a Doctorate of Philosophy in law from the Research School of Social Sciences at the Australian National University

Yes, that makes him an aviation expert doesn't it?

Now don't everybody rush out and buy a copy. However I am certain Blackhand, Clinton and Flyingfiend have a laminated autographed copy on their bookshelves! I would however happily accept a few free copies to place in the men's ****ter on the ramp, they would be used very quickly and 'robustly'. Reading that crap would be as exciting as watching the lawn grow or watching Julia Gillard act in 'The Taming Of The Shrew' !
(sorry Kharon, I know, Julia acting out Shakespeare is nauseating but then so is CASA's reg reform program)

[halfmanhalfbiscuit]

Now I understand 23yrs reg reform has been going. Am I right in thinking jmac has completed 3 of his 5 yr term? Do you think he will want to do another 5yrs and chances of being offered? Will it be more regulator with a capital R or return to small r regulator?

[Kharon]

Good point Biscuit :

I HEAR the only reason he's still there is that RMcD sister can't afford to pay him out. Apparently, so I hear; he and his 'appointees' days are numbered . (Goldan weeks spent quietly in chambers, academic like). Only a rumor of course but, it seems he and a couple of his mates will be 'an embarrassment' to the new Government Minister. Can't think why; or 'where' they got their information; aye, 'tis a puzzle all right.

Betting on the election date is tight - 1 Bad prawn will do the trick (so I hear).

Bring back Dick, bring back Dick.

Joking , joking, I am, seriously, honest. No no no; Urghh!.

[Selcalmeonly]

I heard that JMc won't extend beyond his current term. Those blokes rarely (if ever) extend - I cant think of any in the past 20 years or so; in fact, most have got the chop before their term is completed!

[blackhand]

I guess it just shows nobody here knows anything about trolling for croc's.

You are a bad man Frank.

Glad someone picked it up. ( wuz gettin all wurried about it). Thought I'd try to slip it in with the next bit about the croc eggs, you know - "Crocs Sue CASA, creating undue hunger and hardship in the community'.

Nice to have you back

Prawns, pony pooh and politics

I heard similar about the Skull. Mind you, the Director/CEO whatever you want to call him each time is merely a fall guy anyway. As pointed out, they only last a couple of years, a bigger issue is the cockroaches that support the Director/CEO, you know, the ones that the can of Baygon misses every time, the ones that have been trough dwelling for 10, 20+ years. Sadly every time a spring clean is done these vermin escape the clean out and remain to infect yet another generation of hot shot managers who tend to come and go.
Hopefully soon when Gillard gets booted out we may end up with some aviation changes? I mean, to be honest, labor, liberals, greens they all are usless piles of steaming pony poo, just like CASA, but maybe the new government will use CASA as it's way 'to make it's stamp' on the political scene for the next 3 years ?

Will it be more regulator with a capital R or return to small r regulator?

Big R, small r, what is the difference really, you could label it 'Capital P for pony pooh' and it will still be a bureaucraticaly incompetent steaming pile of monkey crap.

Abuse of Ministerial credit cards, lying under oath and using taxpayer funds to pay for hummers is a possible latent condition that could bring the election date forward! Anyway, I am off to put $250.00 into the pokies, see ya.............

[flying-spike]

Paid Hummers?

"using taxpayer funds to pay for hummer"
Jeez Gobbledock, I hope you mean the motor vehicle! If not all CASA employees will have to pause negotiations to ensure that is included in the EBA.

or watching Julia Gillard act in 'The Taming Of The Shrew' ! (sorry Kharon, I know, Julia acting out Shakespeare is nauseating but then so is CASA's reg reform program)

Strewth GD. Don't do that to me again without warning, bloody near bust a gut laughing. Now I've got it stuck in my head; keep doing Bianca and Kates' lines a'la Gillard. Dog reckons I've finally lost the few remaining marbles. So for punishment a puzzle:-

Tra. Saw you no more? mark'd you not how
her sister
Began to scold and raise up such a storm
That mortal ears might hardly endure the din?

Luc. Tranio, I saw her coral lips to move,
And with her breath she did perfume the air;
Sacred and sweet was all I saw in her.

Aww fair go Griffo

I did get done in on the next line. Took me medicine like a good'un.

CASA win on TV reality footage - Keeping up with the Joneses

So PPRuNe has been very quiet on this topic of late. Any more info other than what The Australian has to say at CASA win on TV reality footage? Or is this just a re-hash of old January news brought back for a slow news day?

I have to say that Milton's words "I am very experienced" made my spidy senses tingle.

Seems to be a ruling that CASA can view the original footage, Milton was trying to stop them.

It might all be too late as the statutory limitations start to become an issue i.e. to pursue a prosecution. That was a concern voiced by the CASA investigator in the original Federal Court injunction...

[jas24zzk]

Hold 5....apparantly CASA don't need a prosecution anyway

[gobbledock]

Do they even care if they get a win? I doubt it. Egos were hurt and pride tarnished, they will just keep at him for nothing
more than 'sh#ts and giggles'. Remember it's not their money they are using, it's ours. Our money is their plaything.

[Sarcs]

And the Milton saga continues??

With all the change of government..PelAir Senate report..Hempel..Barrier blahblah I'd completely forgotten about 'keeping up with the Joneses' saga and in particular Milton's wrangling with FF

Well from what I was able to glean from the AAT site it would appear that FF are yet to lose an appetite for some of that prime Brahman Jones beef (as a side dish best served with a classic Penfold's Grange)...ahh I digress .

Anyway it would appear that old Milt has had a temporary win and that FF are prepared to hump it for another mil or two to catch that scallywag old Milt!

Was watching some re-runs of this a couple of weeks ago & wondered where the investigation had got to.

Don't worry, Part 61 will sort out all the chopper operators. There won't be any left to prosecute.
