They need to proof-read their stuff:
• Check whether your pilot whether they have a valid a ‘Class One Medical’ certificate.
And the picture of the B206 is printed backwards.

Some more huggy-fluffy stuff on their site:

​​​​​​​By placing First Nations people at the forefront of its reconciliation work, CASA has the potential to drive considerable reconciliation outcomes across its sphere of influence.
Yeah, but what are CA$A doing to revive General Aviation? Is this really achieving anything, other than Virtue Signalling? Does it increase safety and reduce costs to operators?

But the number 5 on the ground is the right way around - if you look at it in a mirror.

No you didn't, CASA don't know whether they are coming or going, the price of fish, or anything else, quite appropriate actually.

The job of a regulator is to regulate the industry so that the general public does not have to
  • Certify the fire prevention system at the school where I drop the children
  • Ensure the hygiene of the kichen at the restaurant where I eat
  • Certify the used cars on the road are technically reviewed
is CASA saying: we are not doing our job, its up to you the public to sort out your own safety.
I have to review my list of 3rd world countries, last time I checked Australia was not in it.
