GD – “I've been told that CAsA have been shitting themselves of late over Pel Air,”

Nice thought GD, but can’t see it myself; history is against it. CASA sailed through the Pel-Air storm un marked, untouched, unaccountable, not seriously challenged and unpunished - WTD. CASA strolled past the ASRR same-same, with even less ‘bother’.

Another Senate inquiry or even another Royal Commission won’t trouble ‘em overly much. It is time ‘the law’ was used. There needs to be a Judicial Inquiry based on the Pel-Air incident with no purpose other than to examine the actions of CASA officers, top to bottom. This could be expanded to focus on the actions of the Sydney Basin crew during the McConvict era.

Reform of CASA will only be effective when they realize that penalties can and will be imposed, that prosecution for crimes is a reality and that ‘they’ (CASA) are not above the law. A SI or RC may be jolly good fun, but they ain’t the same as the barrister prosecuting asking “is this your signature?” or; “who instructed you to. etc” CASA claim to be pure as the driven snow; I say, let ‘em, prove it. Hell I’ll even draft some of the questions, gratis, just for the fun of it..

Toot toot.
