Sleepy Hollow's darkest secrets.
Buckley - "I also point out that allegations of a similar nature have previously been made against this individual, leading to an ABC investigative story by Adele Ferguson and Chris Gillett on the ABC 7.30 Report in October 2018. I have been approached by many within industry offering to come forward and tell their account of their experience with this CASA employee. Similarly, many of their lives and livelihoods have been destroyed have also been approached by CASA employees who have offered to come forward and tell the truth not only on my matter, but on others."
Most, if not all students of the CASA's actions would hear the clear chime of truth in Buckley's words. Those same folk would acknowledge that it is almost (but not quite) a near impossibility to have those same actions openly investigated. It is not only my personal opinion, but an almost universally held belief, that impossible as it may seem the only way to return credibility, trust and acceptance of the CASA is to take the lid off and examine, in broad daylight 'the case against'. Impossible as it may seem, it must be done - sooner rather than later; the festering canker must be excised.
"I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
Any study of the long, long list of 'inquiry' clearly defines the extraordinary lengths gone to in avoidance of detailed examination of CASA actions. Yet, the remedy is simplicity itself: in camera, sworn statements from ex CASA employees. Fat chance right. But therein lays the truth - an inquiry into industry complaint, backed up by Q&A from the CASA officer involved (on oath - in camera) would unfold a story which would not only shock this sleepy nation and it's bipartinsane government awake, but disgust it.
"One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise. This philosophy fitted on to my early adult life, when I saw the improbable, the implausible, often the "impossible," come true.”
Until there is a normalisation of the natural tension between the regulator and the regulated; expensive, pointless inquiry will continue to be a waste of time and resource. The only way forward is for the 'white hats' within the CASA to speak up, on the record and set the ball rolling toward the right outcome. Too many 'good folk' have left the organisation; unable to stomach the 'Kool-Aid'.
I know, it'll never happen; but industry statements backed by 'white hat' evidence in a government backed 'fair-dinkum' inquiry (not the McDolittle version) would right many of the wrongs and restore industry faith in the regulator and government. Of course, a total lack of balls, brains and interest will preclude it; and we can only watch on, impotently as the occasional blood sacrifice to the daemons of 'public safety' are periodically made to sate the need for 'State safety coverage' no matter what happens..
Aye, the fool rambles; not many would disagree that CASA needs to be sorted; but when push come to shove - silence, the stern reply from those affected. .
Toot - toot..
