The CASA Board has a series of responsibilities to the aviation community that fall under the COMMONWEALTH AUTHORITIES AND COMPANIES ACT 1997 [CAAC Act, CAC Act], which has become the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Act 2014 [It moves from 90 to 474 pages]
The following is following a 2002 application by CASA to be exempted from Anti-discrimination laws in 2002.
The supporting documents and application by CASA has disappeared from the site.
The following shows the histroy of the site, demonstrating that it has taken 9 years to complete the process [I am not supporting the initial application […]
The following appears in todays Australian [21st February 2014], as the last few para’s of the Creedy article on the ALEA submission. It has jus a single para on the resignation of McCormick.

The submission by ALEA [Australian Licenced Aircraft Engineers Association] has just been released and like the other submissions to the ASRR, has interesting reading.
The bottom line is that the ALEA is not at all happy with how CASA are doing things.
Reading through the submission takes us to much the same place as all […]
The following list was downloaded today [16th February 2014] and has a range of “get-outs], and the list is below.

The following quote from the AAAA submission to the ASRR bears some particular relevance to the current inquiry and appears to fully support the notion that CASA has “lost it’s way” and that a major change needs to be instituted now.
The following tweet, needs to be carefully thought about in CASA seeking to “sponsor” organisations.
Question is, does this mean CASA has compromised what the organisations can say??, or really want to say. The old “..don’t bite the hand that feeds you..” springs to mind.
The following is in part from the Aerial Agricultural Association of Australia (AAAA) submission to the ASRR:
However, one agency must be singled out for urgent attention and significant reform. CASA is now a low-trust organisation, with all of the implications for efficiency, performance and relationships that brings. Industry is trusting the aviation regulatory review […]
