I think it’s only taken three or four years that the CASA budget has gone from $200 million to $300 million.
We can assume that crying poor and overworked will be the CASA mantra, and note the nuanced mention of ‘cost recovery.’
Cost recovery is based on the wrong assumption that there’s some relation to value as is found in the free market, but here we have a monopoly, independent as Minister King repeatedly asserts, a monopoly that invents permissions and charges like the proverbial bull for its permits.
Cost recovery as a concept conveniently forgets that the beneficiary of standards is supposed to be the general public.
CASA is a make work salary factory and should be disbanded and it’s duties put back into a Department as is the Westminster system of responsible government.
