Effrontery – of the bare faced variety.
When P2 posted the latest CASA video message, delivered once again by the voice of whispering death, I and many others freely admit to ignoring its very existence, this supported by a steely determination to never waste any part of my life on such things. The latest produced not being for industry benefit; do not make the mistake of believing it is. It is purely and simply for the benefit of politicians; in particular for the most inutile miniscule for transport in the history of this wide brown land. The fabrication is part of a campaign to convince the world that ‘reform’ is the watchword and CASA are moving heaven and earth to achieve this essential, if mythical state. Bollocks.
Newton – “Can you do another video to describe precisely what has changed within CASA since the Administrative Appeals Tribunal found in 2015 that you had been vindictively prejudicial in your enforcement action taken against Mr. Nagid Fadlalla in Perth? Like now, CASA claimed to be proponents of a "just culture." But the AAT found scant evidence of that, castigating CASA for denial of procedural fairness, disregarding evidence, and for behaving as if it had a vendetta against its target. The AAT decision is here, in case anyone wants to contrast CASA's promotional materials about "just culture" with their actual behaviour.”
P2 – “From the above decision by Egon Fice, Senior Member of the AAT, it is becoming apparent that the jig is up when it comes to CASA attempting to persecute individuals that have genuinely made an honest mistake/contravention of the regs. This case is also a classic for it shows how CASA manipulates a situation to suit it's own purpose with a dodgy investigation, with little to no factual evidence (sounds familiar hey?? ) and by using underhanded, morally corrupt tactics in an attempt to discredit the applicant.”
The manipulation of ‘fact’, the spinning of ‘circumstance' and the destruction of the intended victims are the stuff of legend; and, it is safe to say that, for once, legend can be proven through unimpeachable fact. The big problem of course is that the only realistic ‘court of appeal’ is the CASA organization itself. Oh, you can talk of taking legal action and fighting it out in a courtroom; sometime in the future; even go so far as to seek legal advice. Then, should you be willing to spend at least three years of your life and somewhere in the region of $300,000 to get into a court, then another two years and similar sum of money again, fighting the appeal, you may or may not walk out of court with pyric victory in the battle; but you will have lost ‘the war’. Through the PAIN network it has been possible to source invaluable ‘top deck’ advice which simply states that in reality, the only real winners are the legal counsel you employ and that the mark of the beast will be on you; for ever.
Trying to change this is the purpose of the GP3 experiment. The case cited above is, in many ways a classic – only because the AAT president managed to see past the CASA case; and, that only because there is a debt to pay and a bad conscience to sooth. Fice knows this for fact, just as I and many, many others do.
For the GP3 test, Carmody has taken a line which, IMO, reflects the true nature of the risible ‘reform’ mantra being whispered through ‘video’ presentation. You see, boys and girls, once the ‘facts and circumstances’ have passed through the ‘system’ and a ruling handed down, CASA have the perfect defence case against any and all complaint. That their cases are built on outright fabrication, manipulated to a fare-thee-well, exaggerated as needed, shrunk where required, awkward parts buried and oaths sworn in vain makes a mockery of system, is of absolutely no concern to them, whatsoever. There is no appeal, to the gods or mankind, which can shame CASA into admitting ‘they lied’. CASA are totally convinced they are above the law, even have it in writing. CASA believe there is no power on this planet which can bring them to confess their crimes. This has been proven so many times now that it has become the normalized deviance an industry simply accepts; result, living in fear has become the norm.
How can true ‘reform’ ever take place when the Director chooses, of his own volition, not to examine the radical causes which necessitate that reform? How can trust and faith ever be restored when trust is constantly abused and faith, not only in ‘the law’ but in the system is viewed so cynically by those in whom industry should be able to hold in absolute trust?
Aye; it is a sad state of affairs, the nails in the ASRR coffin being driven home now through ‘media’ releases which go unchallenged; produced at our expense to cover the ministerial arse. Risible? Yes, but the irony is on the industry, which sits back and watches the fight while protecting it’s own rice bowl. I am not certain where the blame lays; but industry has had a big part to play in allowing the current situation to develop, perhaps it is time industry got off its collective beam ends and shouted one simple word – Enough.
Selah.
