Mythical reform.

CAsA describes itself as an independent statutory authority. But what does that mean?
A quick reference to the dictionary reveals:

INDEPENDANT
adjective
1 free from outside control; not subject to another's authority:

Well for sure this definition applies. CAsA is beholden to nobody but itself. Neither its minister, the parliament, the whole of the industry, nor the people of Australia. It is a completely self interested entity.  

STATUTORY
adjective
2 required, permitted, or enacted by statute

Another truth. CAsA is empowered by the parliament via a parliamentary Act, to make the laws and enforce the laws pertaining to aviation as IT see's fit. It s only caveat being it must only consider "Safety" as its primary goal.

      SAFETY
      noun
      1 [mass noun] the condition of being protected from or unlikely to cause danger, risk, or injury:
     they should leave for their own safety. A lot of sensible participants in Aviation in Australia are leaving to escape
     CAsA. Billions of dollars worth of investment gone to foreign climes.        
     
     Who saves the rest of industry from the threat of CAsA?

Absolute Safety is an impossible goal, there is always risk. Unfortunately the before mentioned ACT gives no mention as to what Safety is, that is left to CAsA to determine. CAsA has determined its role is the Salvation of the populace of Australia from the criminal enterprise of committing aviation.

      SALVATION | salˈveɪʃ(ə)n |
      noun [mass noun]
      1 preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss: they try to sell it to us as economic salvation.
     
     CAsA tries to sell us a motto of "Safe Skies for All". Economics don't signify.  Who provides Industry with  
     with salvation from CAsA's myopic, boondoggle industry destroying regulations?


      •  (one's salvation) a source or means of being saved from harm, ruin, or loss: his only salvation was to outfly
        The enemy.

AUTHORITY

noun (plural authorities)
1 [mass noun] the power or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience: he had absolute authority over his subordinates | a rebellion against those in authority.

Yep, CAsA has the power alright and boy do they make an art form of the orders, tens of thousands of pages of them to a point where it's impossible realistically to comply with them. Make decisions? They interfere in every facet of the industry, except for the larger organisations, from the office furniture, to the colour of the wall paper in the ladies Dunny, even down to the content of commercial, in confidence, contracts.

• [often with infinitive] the right to act in a specified way, delegated from one person or organization to another: military forces have the legal authority to arrest drug traffickers.

Yup, CAsA acts without scrutiny in its own specified way. Delegation is a known CAsA modus operandi for absolving themselves of liability for anything.

• official permission; sanction: the money was spent without parliamentary authority.

Well CAsA do spend a lot of taxpayers money without scrutiny.

2 (often authorities) a person or organization having political or administrative power and control: health authorities issued a worldwide alert.

CAsA certainly has been given unfetted power by the political Elite and control they do, massively, successfully decimating an industry in the process.

3 [mass noun] the power to influence others, especially because of one's commanding manner or one's recognized knowledge about something: he has the natural authority of one who is used to being obeyed.

"Commanding manner"? more like sociopathic lunacy I would suggest in CAsA's case.
Other than within their own ranks who recognises any "Knowledge" of the commercial aspects of aviation in CAsA?
"Natural Authority" nope, pretty much everyone I come into contact with in the industry has nothing but contempt for them.
