Budget Estimates AQON update: CASA v ASA -   

I note that as of last week 14 of the 16 outstanding CASA Budget Estimates QON have now been answered. Remembering that there had been 4 CASA QON answered in the 1st week of August, a passing strange coincidence but of the 11 QON that had remained outstanding are listed as having been answered on the very same day that I published this post: Addendum: Senator Smith CASA QON. Three QON have since been answered on Friday, leaving 2 QON from Senator Dean Smith yet to be answered: QON 185 Download question & QON 188 Download question

Some AQON of interest in the latest lot: 

AQON 188: Answer: The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) undertakes analysis of trends in various sectors of the Australian aviation industry including the recent the R22/44 analysis. These are used to inform surveillance and safety education and generally not public documents. 

CASA sought an independent review of the R22/44 report by the Australian Helicopter Industry Association (AHIA). 

A copy of the report has been published on the CASA website at: https://www.casa.gov.au/report-robinson-...ccurrences

AQON 189:

Answer: The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) provided all requested information to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) throughout the course of the investigation of the Robinson R44 helicopter, VH-NBY, accident near Broome Airport, Western Australia on 4 July 2020.

This particular report did not include a ‘what has been done as a result’ section. The presentation of ATSB reports are the responsibility of the ATSB.

AQON 190:

Answer: The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) lists all gifts and benefits received by staff in the course of their employment in the organisation on the CASA website. This information can be found at: https://www.casa.gov.au/about-us/reporti...s-register

Three current CASA Board members and three CASA senior executives, including the Chief Executive Officer, were gifted membership to the Qantas Chairman’s and Virgin Beyond lounges prior to their commencement at CASA.

Switching to Airservices where there was originally 21 outstanding Budget Estimates QON - search QON here: https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Bus...mates/rrat   

Of those 21 QON only one QON has been answered - AQON 260:  

Senator Bridget McKenzie asked:

Has the executive team subjected themselves to 360-degree feedback appraisals on their own performances? Or any similar form of appraisal?

Answer: Yes.

UDB!...  

Hmmm...looking FWD to Harfwit's answer to QON 259...

Question 

Do you think there is a risk that an entrenched executive team and perhaps a record breaking term as CEO tends to entrench certain behaviours or internal cultures?

MTF...P2
