P2 – “However it wasn't till I stumbled across the former Minister for Non-aviation Albo's explanatory speech, for the introduction of the amendment, that the penny dropped that this was nothing more than Albo creating further 'degrees of separation' between himself, the government and anything remotely resembling responsibility and oversight of aviation safety.”
The following – combined with the ICAO and FAA audit; the cosy ATSB – CASA convenient MoU, the ‘lacklustre’ primary report on Pel-Air spell out only one simple solution to P2’s cryptic crossword puzzle.
"- The responsibilities of CASA and the ATSB were never resolved, even though the ATSB had become a separate statutory agency in July 2009. As a result the ATSB did not collect sufficient information from Pel Air."
Abrogation of ministerial responsibility and a perfect system for both ATSB and CASA to be responsible to no man. The CASA board may be seen an being completely inutile, ATSB answer to no man. Both may, with legally approved, ministerial sanction tell the world and it’s wife to go and ‘boil their bottoms’. And they do, repeatedly and often. O'Sullivan's next for the pot, if he don't get a shift on and catch up.
When you add the ‘Act’ to the untrammelled power bestowed on the incumbent ‘Boss’ of either department there is a clear picture of total separation from question, inquiry, responsibility and governmental control. A free hand with a lovely big circuit breaker between them, the DoIT, the minister, the Senate or even the gods themselves.
It is no wonder the Estimates committee, despite some pretty good efforts, cannot lay a glove on these free of constraint or accountability government sanctioned, publically (one way or the other) funded, completely autonomous, self regulating agencies.
What a pity it is that ‘government’ focus on BJ’s little contretemps far outweighs any attempt to rein in a satellite arm of government – to protect an industry – and by default the safety (physical and financial) of the travelling public. Maybe they just don't care, provided they are 'screened' from responsibility.
Albo – arrogant, callous, deviant and beneath contempt; safe as houses from any and all responsibility – and yet he still holds out his hand and takes, without qualm, the money paid to him for accepting that very responsibility to the Australian public.
Where do I sign up?
P2 - "Is it any wonder that Albo went scampering away from all responsibility for addressing the damning findings of the Senate PelAir inquiry prior to the 2013 Federal election?"
“No, and Oi – this glass is empty.”
