Tales of CASA embuggerance will be told?? -  

To begin from the rumour network, word is out that a longtime CASA investigator, attributed to much angst to many stalwart members of the aviation industry and suspected of serious misfeasance in public office, has been given the bullet - mentioned HERE. If true there will be many a quiet toastings/celebrations to seeing the back of that nasty sociopathic individual...

Next (and maybe related) the Fort Fumble resident former USA Airforce spook, that has absolutely NFI about the Oz Civil/General Aviation industry but regardless has held the CASA 'Executive Manager, National Operations and Standards' position for nearly 6 years, has also been rumoured to have been given the bullet - if true I don't believe there will be many tears shed...  

These rumours provide a perfect segue into the sociopathic, toxic, intimidatory (status quo) leadership culture of CASA...  

The stark evidence of this culture starts with the embuggerance case of Glen Buckley - enter stage left former CASA/DAS Shane Carmody: 

The tone of which the accusation (under Parliamentary privilege) was made highlights the complete self-serving, self-righteous, sociopathic arrogance of this man and IMO sets the example for all those like-minded disciples that fell under his leadership. Like (for example) the sycophant behind him...                 

Which brings me to the last part of that video footage and the Hansard:

"..I'll make one more point on Mr Buckley. Essentially, Mr Buckley has been asked to do one thing, deliver a legal document between him and his franchisees or his subordinates or whatever he calls them that clearly outlines who has the safety responsibility and supervisory responsibility. Put it in a clearly defined legal document that we will accept and we would be comfortable with the business model. I'll stop Mr Buckley at that point because, clearly, he's been told this many times and we're in a very different place..."

 
This comment from Carmody is quite bizarre because the matter of GlenB producing a 'legal document'/contract for his 'franchisees' was done, dusted, discussed and debated verbatim some 16-17 months before - refer APTA CASA phone call 4 April 2019 (note the arrogant demeanor and derogatory side comments of Crawford and Martin -   ):

No one should forget that CASA with its new rules of Parts 141/142 has created a mountain of completely unnecessary complexities which has smashed Australia’s flying training industry. Hundreds of flying schools have closed, especially numerous schools in regional and outback towns.

In the USA an instructor does not need an equivalent to the extremely costly CASA mandated bureaucratic structure of Part 141 or 142, and can instruct independently or band together with other instructors, much as used to pertain when I commenced my own flying school in the ‘70s.

CASA might sound somewhat plausible at times in this audio but it has been perfecting its make work system for years. Since the Westminster system of Ministerial accountability was overturned by the Labor Minister Gareth Evans by kicking aviation out of his Department and creating the independent corporate CASA, General Aviation has been slowly strangled.

Glen Buckley’s attempt to create a model that eases CASA’s extreme regulatory burden for smaller flying schools was too good for CASA. Allowing it to succeed would have meant less work for CASA and fewer opportunities to fee gouge those small flying schools.

The CASA argument about structural accountability is a complete nonsense, all the controlling regulations already exist in excruciating detail  and have been inappropriately migrated, at the behest of CASA, into the criminal code with strict liability applied.
Glen Buckley deserves all our support.

Moving on and on another matter, very much related to the CASA toxic culture of venomous, vicious, vindictive, vexatious, embuggerances, note the following historical post:

on behalf of my family we would like to thank Ben for his continued support over the years, CASA have managed to keep my case from going public up until now .... and it might look like we had a bad day today but trust me, we and I mean all pilots and owners of aircraft we embarrassed the f@#k out of casa .

Ben you should be proud of what you do for all the people that can't afford to stand up for what's right.

I'm happy with today's results..... would love to be a fly on the wall in John Moore office tonight

Finally from the GA inquiry I refer to evidence provided by AF CEO Marjorie Pagani:

From 16:30 -

 Hansard GA Inquiry 07/12/21

"...But I can say the substance of those conversations is to the effect that senior internal staff were shocked at what Mr Monahan proposed for Angel Flight and had taken the view that the data was fabricated, there was no basis and it was not supported and that all of this was ignored by Mr Monahan. This seems to be the way CASA operated and continues to operate.

I mentioned briefly a matter before the Campbelltown Local Court in New South Wales currently, between ASA and an aviator. Again, I can give more details of that, and I urge you senators to order a transcript of this—as you would know, transcripts are quite expensive. In that matter, which is in substance relating to charges against CASA that they fabricated information and they engaged in bribery and other serious matters against this person, they have been objecting to providing subpoenaed material in that case for three years, such that, in July of this year, the judge said—the [inaudible] clearly, from the transcript, are very angry—'Is it going to be necessary for me to subpoena the CEO of CASA, issue a summons for her arrest to bring her before this court to explain why you will not provide this information?' CASA's only explanation, through legal, was to the effect that it was all a bit slow because of [inaudible].

In the August hearing, CASA, to avoid providing the subpoenaed documents, withdrew two of its witness statements, which were relevant to the documents, so as to not have to do it. I mention that only because it is more of the same. This is not a transparent authority. This is not one which is fair to the aviation community. It is one which, by its current conduct of failing to engage with Angel Flight at all [inaudible] in November, notwithstanding all of the admissions made in the court case, is continuing on that same path. We had really hoped that there would be some changes made, but it seems—and I can only say this from videoconferences and communications I've had—that Mr Monahan is still running the show and intent upon imposing further legislation, again, clearly, with no intention of doing a risk based analysis in relation to that..."

Marjorie Pagani: "I mention that only because it is more of the same. This is not a transparent authority.."

The comment from MP stands the test of time IE nothing has changed. However the case of CASA embuggerance of Andy Pascoe has progressed and apparently is a matter of weeks away from conclusion and the rumour is that recent hearings have seen some significant casualties/carcasses spun off the CASA embuggerance crew?? Standby for a possible biblical rerun of David and Goliath...
