With respect to those who hope for, and promote, "cultural change" as a reform that will reduce the depredations of CASA against aviation, and especially GA, I beg to differ.
Cultural change relies on personalities not law.
Can the Minister go to Aviation House and say "change your culture?".
Relying on the whim and sway of personalities for the administration of aviation, especially as it is loaded with criminal sanctions, is totally at odds with the fundamental protections (and efficiencies) of the rule of law.
Without political willpower expect no real reform and therefore the real work, to influence politicians is the only plausible way forward.
I would add that lashing out and very personal attacks, venting spleen and denigrating individuals might have some value in demonstrating the frustration we all feel but won't do much to help.
