The Carmody Hour.
#89

Leopards, spots and the changing thereof.

SBG “Take a long hard look at either the Carmody or Hood ‘leadership’ and the results produced. The jury is still out on Carmody; there is little worthy of mention on the credit side, certainly no vigorous attempts to curb the excesses of his organisation or a sensible approach to regulations.”

Ambled into the BRB pre Estimates indaba, thoughts firmly fixed on a quiet pint or two, quiet evening and home in time for supper. Alas; the best laid schemes etc. It seems our inestimable P2 has been rummaging in the garden again, digging up more old bones (Terriers do that). Seems that the quote from the SBG sent him off to the Sleepy Hollow swampland, where some of the skeletons are buried. By stumps it was made unanimous, without too much argy-bargy - Carmody definitely not on the side of the angels.

P2 – “These extracts etc. also IMO beg the QON - Is Carmody some sort of Iron Ring Mr Fixit?

Question: CASA 08
Division/Agency: Civil Aviation Safety Authority
Topic: Allegations of misleading the Senate – legal advice
Hansard Page: 54-55 (28/05/08).

Before we dive into the decade old Hansard, read and consider the topic quoted. Consider this; here’s an elected Senator asking a serious question related to a major aviation event. The Senator wants to know if the Senate has been mislead (again?). Considering that O’Brien would not ask a question to which the answer was unknown; and, considering that CASA have just spent a significant sum, over and above the cost of their own legal department; you have to wonder how close to the bone O’Brien has cut. When you read the Hansard, it exposes the ‘steel’ behind the smiling visage of the Iron Ring’s anointed reform slayer. Carmody does it all with a smile. A decade later and guess what; Ayup, he’s back in the saddle again.

The now infamous coffee shop story, witnessed by non other than the ICC, provided a useful insight to the basic ‘character’ of the man who is stonewalling change and dividing the small end of town private aviation sectors. But there’s just a little more to consider – before we take a walk back through history, via Hansard. Have you wondered why there is little to no ‘gossip’ coming from your friendly local FOI? If rumour is correct, there is effectively a Gag order in place; federal bobbies on the job and ASIO to boot. National security involved. Bollocks, IMO the white hats are under threat, just in case someone inadvertently gives the game plan away. Sure, it’s a rumour but………….

No matter – I digress, back to P2’s research.

Senator O’BRIEN—Yes. I suppose in part you are. You are also representing yourself. In terms of the suggestion that you misled the Senate it would be you who would be called to answer for that rather than the organisation, would it not?

Mr Carmody—Correct. But as I have indicated, I am not aware of whether or not I am ableto provide this advice. I can check that matter. As far as I am concerned the allegations are closed.
 
P2 – “Got to admit Carmody is consummate professional bureaucrat - that answer is classic...”

Try to find the time to read the opening passage of play between O’Brien and Carmody. Remember, it led to yet another ‘Inquiry’ into CASA. Not that it mattered very much, you need look no further than the Pel-Air inquiry to see how CASA treats the ‘opinions’ of others and remains, determinedly resolute to not even consider reforming itself. Quite the reverse. Will the next ‘inquiry’ beat the Iron Ring sponsored Carmody first XI? The book is open.

MTF – Yes, I’d say so; there’s still the following Hansard to plough through.

Toot – toot.
