ASRR, CASA and the McCormick resignation

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.

Was the reason for the press release by CASA on 14th February 2014 at 16:48 to achieve just this result – to stop the McCormick resignation becoming headline news in the well read The Australian Aviation section.
