Gobbitt invokes LPP on DJ FOI - WTD?

As a bit of an update on the ongoing Carmody embuggerance of DJ, CASA FOI Officer David Gobbitt has made it interesting by invoking the section 42 (Legal Professional Privilege) FOI exemption on what appears to be a two and a half page LSD correspondence to a CASA Officer?

Extracts from DJ FOI decision:

After 8 years and based on what is appearing to be an illegally 'black letter law' sanctioned decision to suspend the DJ FCL (by former CASA delegate Hoody on the 24 December 2009), one has to question what legal advice the CASA ALC (assigned legal counsel) would be giving to a CASA officer?
Maybe it has something to do with this: References - CASA continue to take the Mickey Bliss on CAA & FOI Act  & The 0803 lost in White rabbit obfuscation

Q/ Coming back to the Gobbitt decision letter, one wonders why he didn't at least release the SFR, that is legally required to be forwarded to and signed by a CASA delegate assigned with the carriage of making an individual enforcement decision, that should have accompanied the Greg Hood original (24 December 2009) decision to suspend the DJ FCL?

Note that this investigative summary and update was completed before the Hood 24 December 2009 suspension decision notice. Therefore we can only presume that Hoody was not privy to this additional information, otherwise it would have been included in the notice correspondence and by rights DJ would have had his licence cancelled rather than suspended.

This non-inclusion of this critical factual information and the fact that it wasn't a featured question in the 16 December DJ Q&A, would suggest to me that White, Chambers, Campbell and Co. were either totally inept; or already fully cognisant of the fact that the flightcrew of VH-NGA never received either the 0803 AMD TAF or the 0739 SPECI ...

MTF? - Definitely...P2
