GlenB embuggerance update: 1/02/22 - "Dear Barnaby??'
Via the AP email chains:
Dear Mr Barnaby Joyce, Leader of the Nationals, Deputy PM, and the Minister responsible for the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).
My name is Glen Buckley, you will have some awareness of my matter, although I acknowledge that this matter was initiated under Mr Michael McCormack when he was acting in the role of Deputy PM and the Minister at the time responsible for CASA. Mr Michael McCormack would be the Subject Matter Expert (SME) within the Nationals and would be able to fully brief you.
Similarly, in accordance with the Ministers Statement of Expectations of CASA an obligation is placed on the Board to keep you fully informed, and that would be another resource available to you.
Senator McDonald, a highly regarded advocate of the General Aviation (GA) Industry also has knowledge of the matter, and in fact I raised my allegations of misfeasance in public office against Mr Jonathan Aleck, CASA Executive Manager of Legal, International and Regulatory Affairs before her on 20/11/20, and that presentation can be accessed via here, as well as the copy of Hansard that I have provided. I followed those allegations up with written correspondence to Mr Michael McCormack.

A Commonwealth Ombudsman Office investigation of my matter has been ongoing over a period of the last three years and is still continuing. Commonwealth Ombudsman Reference 2019-713834-R
The purpose of this correspondence is to respectfully request the direct intervention of your Office
Mr Jonathan Aleck, CASA Executive Manager of Legal, International and Regultory Affairs has on multiple occasions provided clearly untruthful and misleading information to the Commonwealth Ombudsman’s office , presumably for the purpose of covering up his misconduct, and perverting the outcome of the investigation. For complete clarity, I am fully satisfied that his action was deliberate, as he knew the information to be clearly false at the time he provided it.
Mr Jonathan Aleck has been responsible for leading the Ombudsman’s Office to be of the view that CASA did not become aware of the structure of my Organisation until just prior to October 2018 when they sent notification to me and advised that my business of more than ten years was operating illegally and shut it down.
I have previously written to both the CASA CEO and to the CASA Board on the matter of misleading information provided by Mr Aleck, and copies of that communication can be accessed via the following link. Glen Buckley and Australian small business -V- CASA - Page 94 - PPRuNe Forums The forum on my particular topic has currently had in excess of 900,000 views and has attracted wide industry interest and involvement because of the potential ramifications to the wider industry. My correspondence to the CASA CEO Ms Spence and subsequent correspondence to the Board can be found between Posts #1862 to #1884 on that forum, if you do not already have access to it.
I have attached emails dating back 2 ½ years before Mr Aleck claims that CASA” first became aware of APTA”. Mr Aleck asserts that CASA became aware just prior to October 2018, and that is clearly false.
I am able to submit an overwhelming body of evidence in support of my allegation, but for the sake of expediency I have attached only theemails dating back to June 2016 that clearly demonstrate that I intended to expand on the same activity that I had been doing for 6 years previously. For Mr Aleck to assert that CASA first became aware in October 2018 is clearly untruthful.
I am able to provide an overwhelming body of evidence in support of my allegation if those emails alone are not sufficient, and that includes directing you to current CASA Employees who have come forward and offered to tell the truth on this matter.
Whilst I appreciate that the CASA CEO and Board have elected not to correct the misinformation, it seems entirely unacceptable, and creates a waste of Government resources which is not in accordance with obligations placed on CASA by the PGPA Act.
By providing clearly false information, it only wastes governments resources. The Ombudsman’s Office should be presented with the facts and make a determination on truthful advice provided to it. In fact, the reason that this investigation has dragged on for three years is because CASA has directed significant resources to providing clearly untruthful information.
I would like to refer to specific excerpts from your own Statement of Expectations of CASA, where you stipulate the following expectations. With all due respect, I feel you will be compelled to act.
My intention is to write directly to you again comprehensively on this matter in 14 days, and my hope is that in the interim, you are able to send a very clear direction to the CASA Board that they are to ensure any information provided to the Ombudsman’s Office is truthful, and to correct any false information previously provided by Mr Jonathan Aleck immediately that they have doubts as to the accuracy of the information provided by Mr Aleck to the Ombudsman’s Office.
Please understand that Mr Aleck has bought enormous harm to me and my family, and his actions have cost me many millions of dollars and left me bankrupted and destitute. It has resulted in businesses dependant on me closing, staff losing employment, and both domestic and international students having their training impacted, and suppliers being unpaid.
Many individuals and Organisations have made allegations of misconduct against Mr Jonathan Aleck and the Legal, International and Regulatory branch over many years, and it is extremely concerning that the organisation has such negligible levels of accountability, and most especially from the Nations Aviation Safety Regulator CASA operating under Australia’s Coat of Arms. A symbol that suggests the very highest standards of ethics and integrity.
You will be aware that Mr Alecks conduct is increasingly coming under scrutiny due to industry being frustrated by his conduct over many years, and that includes Angel Flight, the family of Mr Bruce Rhoades which formed the basis of an ABC investigation, Bristelle, Jabiru, Shannon Baker, Kurt Pudniks, Polar, etc etc. The list is exhaustive.
You may also be aware that an industry wide petition is now being organised calling for a Royal Commission into CASA Royal Commission into CASA petition. - PPRuNe Forums
Please Mr Joyce, I urge you to demonstrate strong and ethical leadership and hold Mr Aleck to account, and direct CASA to be truthful in their dealings with the Ombudsman’s Office.
I would also ask that you request the CASA Board to provide you with CASAs safety case for closing down my business. My reasonable expectation is that Mr Alecks decision making would be supported by risk based and evidence driven decision making. You fill find that CASA is unable to provide any safety case whatsoever for closing down my business with no prior warning.
Thankyou for your consideration of my matter, and I will write to you comprehensively within 14 days.
Respectfully, Glen Buckley
