CASA's Aviation Safety Committee - 
While trolling the 2019-20 CASA Annual Report off this link - https://www.transparency.gov.au/annual-r...2019-20-21 - and referring to 'Part 2 - Annual Performance Statement' under the laughable subheading 'Goal 1 - Maintain and enhance a fair, effective and efficient aviation safety regulation system,' I came across the following interesting revelations (my bold) ??
The ASC- WTD? Personally I had never heard of what is potentially a very influential and powerful internal CASA committee? After much searching for additional references, including off the CASA website itself I ended up stumped. Thinking it was merely my ignorance I then decided to do the ring around and to this point in time I am yet to find anyone with industry cred that has any knowledge of this important (secret squirrel) committee?
Given the pivotal role this committee has, maybe it is time for the RRAT committee (in particular Sic'em'Rex with his FOI knowledge) to ask the questions on the ASC?

CASA has effective systems in place to respond to emerging trends in aviation safety risk
On track
CASA’s Aviation Safety Committee (ASC) continually reviewed data from a variety of sources to inform its decision-making and approach to surveillance and proposed policy development. Aviation safety data and trends were presented and discussed at ASC and CASA Board meetings.
The ASC produced 11 sector safety risk profiles, which are in various stages of completion in accordance with the Sector Safety Risk Profile Program. The program further informs surveillance planning through the National Surveillance Selection Plan. The governance of aviation regulatory and safety risk is managed by the ASC. The ASC met 11 times during the reporting period. The ASC reviews civil aviation safety incidents and accidents and surveillance findings which can lead to the revision of the sector safety risk profiles and/or the launch of sector-specific education activities.
