GlenB embuggerance update: 11/01/22

Via the AP email chains:

Dear Ms Spence,
 
With the greatest of respect to your position.
 
Over 12 months ago, before Parliament and directly to Senator Susan McDonald, I made an allegation of Misfeasance in Public Office. I made that allegation against Mr Jonathan Aleck, the CASA Executive Manager of Legal, International, and Regulatory Affairs. A substantive allegation. One that I stand 100% behind and can support with an overwhelming body of evidence.
 
For complete clarity, I am alleging that CASA has misled the Commonwealth Ombudsman Office in its current investigation and has done so with the intention of perverting the outcome of that investigation.
 
I have provided you with an opportunity to rapidly determine whether Mr Alecks Office has in fact misled the Ombudsman’s Office.
 
The Ombudsman’s Office appears to be of the view that, CASA was not integral in the design and approval of the APTA business model, and that CASA only became aware of the APTA business model just prior to reversing it approval without warning in October 2018.
 
That CASA  position is the complete opposite of the truth.
 
CASA was integral in the design and approval of the APTA business model and was fully aware of the structure for 2 ½ years before they claim that they first became aware.
 
You suggested in your previous correspondence, that the Ombudsman could contact Flight Operations Inspector Mr. Naomichi Nishizawa. My suggestion is that you personally establish contact with your employee and put the question directly to him.
 
Ask him the following.
 

• When did CASA first become aware of APTA?
  
• How involved was CASA in the design and approval of CASA?
  
• Why would CASA permit Latrobe Valley Aero Club to operate under Bairnsdale Air Charter but not under APTA?
  

 
With the responses to those questions, within 15 minutes, you will be able to make a determination as to whether this matter needs to be clarified with the Ombudsman office. I would also ask that you advise me of CASAs position as I am the person impacted.
 
Unlike CASA, my intention is not to “blindside” anybody. My request is entirely reasonable. Should you choose not to avail yourself of the opportunity, it then becomes a matter of Governance, at which stage I will, write with my request, directly to the CASA Board, and consider my option of contacting Mr Barnaby Joyce. Although Mr Joyce, was not the responsible Minister at time, and is relatively new to the role, I would urge him to draw on the knowledge of the previous Deputy PM, Mr McCormack who has extensive knowledge of this matter, and would be considered a Subject Matter Expert (SME).
 
For your information I will be appearing on an AOPA Facebook live conference at 7PM and would encourage you to view that program when time permits.
 
Respectfully, Glen Buckley

Next via the UP:

Paragraph377

Glen, Ms Spence is following the government manual entitled; “Mandarin Deflection Protocols For Career Bureaucrats’”. All agency heads have to study and apply the protocols contained within this manual when dealing with industry stakeholders, e.g Glen Buckley. Ms Spence is well versed in the procedures contained within the mandarin manual, particularly the chapters dealing with how to deny, deflect, obsfucate, divert, and cover up. You don’t become a Secretary, COO, CEO or any other fancy Department title without having proved yourself capable of engaging in the aforementioned protocols over an extended period of time.

Glen, for over 20 years the Loyola Lawyer has been able to crush and remove obstacles to CASA (people like yourself) by drawing on his narcissism, ego and pride, and of course his unique ability to write weasel words and ‘CASA get out of jail free cards’ into the regulations. He has made sure that he, as a public serpent, has an endless bucket of taxpayer money, access to a long list of high-end Barristers, and of course the naivety and stupidity of a list of former (and current) dopey CEO/DAS’s. He has the perfect work environment for a little old man with small cojones to work in.

Ms Spence will stay for a few years, then move on to another department. She will swan around the cafe scene of Can’tberra for a few more years yet, pick up her OAM, fill the superannuation account with many taxpayer dollars and then tootle pip off into the sunset. At that point, the game begins again……and again and again.

As always, I wish you the best in your endeavours Glen. Keep up the good work and may 2022 be the year that the thorn in CASA’s flesh be embedded deeper.

And GlenB in reply:

Paragraph. You were spot on.

Dear Mr Buckley

Thanks for your follow up email

Just to be very clear, the issues you have raised are the issues I am expecting to be addressed in the Ombudsman’s independent review.

I am committed to supporting the ombudsman in their independent review and see that as a more appropriate path than undertaking an internal exercise that you are suggesting.

Yours sincerely

Pip

My Response

Dear Ms Spence,

Understood. I will contact the CASA Board.

Respectfully, Glen Buckley

And from P377 in reply:

Ms Spence is actually ‘committed’ to relieving the taxpayers of approximately $700k per year, committed to rising even higher through the ranks of federal government in the Mandarin fantasy land, and she is committed to remaining a loyal footstool to the Minister of the day and licking, shining and polishing his boots (unless it’s Barnaby, whose boots are coated in cow shit and sweat!)

And finally BM postpones public hearing:

Postponed AOPA Facebook Live presentation

I have just been liaising with Ben Morgan from AOPA. We have delayed todays scheduled presentation at 7PM. I will get back to you as soon as i have the new date. Cheers. Glen
