Why oh Why - A new casa??

Browsing and a TV advert took me to the following:

CASA projects

Pap Screen project

CASA Forum and Pap Screen Victoria have developed a joint initiative to support victim/survivors of sexual assault to access cervical screening.
Anecdotally CASAs are aware that victim/survivors of sexual assault either don't screen or under screen due to the difficulties many women experience when accessing intrusive medical procedures. A CASA House 2002 study of 15 women affirmed this.
In partnership with CASAs, Pap Screen Victoria are:
  • Developing a screening checklist to assist CASA counsellors in discussing screening with their clients
  • Providing cervical screening information kits to each regional centre
  • Providing education to CASA managers state wide through the CASA monthly forum and for seniors to enable the training to be passed on to counsellor/advocates
  • Facilitating participation of Nurse Pap Test Providers in sexual assault workshops run by regional CASAs
  • Identifying Nurse Pap Test Providers in CASA locations to provide support and referral
  • Adding a page on PSV website about sexual assault with links to CASA website.

In this instance CASA refers to the Center Against Sexual Assault. Not something that should be joked about.

Not sure OP is suggesting it's a joking matter, more questioning the choice of acronym. Who will get more misdirected phone calls, CASA or CASA?

Topsy...

Judging by the past and the time it takes CAsA to write "stuff" up or just do a right stuff-up...this could be a developing industry for a growth section for the bureaurats involved.

All the dot points listed show that this will turn into complex fluff as you get in a PhD course on how to tie shoelaces.

And here we are being bombarded by the Govt that money is tight, and CAsA have to cut 10%.

Got an aviation safety issue? Forget it. Not enough money to look into that.
What are the requirements/obligations of the Civil Aviation Act 1988 again ???

Safe budgets for all?

Exactly. It proves that the Minister, his advisors, the treasurer and other assorted naval lint have no idea about safety, it's impacts and how it is affected by something like a 10% shave. The Inspectors I know are already frustrated that they can't get out into the field to do their job because budget restrictions come before safety oversight and risk management. Perhaps they blew budget paying for Sky Sentinel? But there is some good news - There is money in the upper echelon to pay for Montreal trips as well as guest speaking roles at an assortment of international locations for those with PooHD's and some of the other old cripples. And of course there is money for A380 endo's for the "over 70's" in CAsA's ranks, and plenty of money in the bigger Comcare pot to pay for all those pesky legal cases where an operator must be buried at all costs !

Sorry, Ladies and Gentlemen. But I've had a sense of humour failure. I think that this thread is in very bad taste.

and Where is the $89m???

Here is a little puzzle for everyone, being Easter and we have time to reflect on lots of things.

As you all know, there was a recent inquiry by the Senate, which uncovered a report by a "Roger Chambers" - otherwise known as the Chamberpot report.

This report was subsequently used [on application to mrdak (kingcrat)] to justify a $89m cash injection for casa to 'fix things'.

I have been looking at the casa annual reports and cannot find the cash trail.

Who can help solve the mystery??
