To the Members of the Board of CASA,
Mr. Anthony Mathews (Chair of the Board of CASA)
Mr. Shane Carmody (Director of Aviation Safety, and CASA CEO)
Mr. Mark Rindfleish
Mr. Michael Bridge
Ms. Donna Hardman
Ms. Elizabeth Hallet
Ms. Marlyn Andre
As you will be aware, I have been given an opportunity to present before the Senate Inquiry into CASA. I am extremely appreciative of this opportunity. As you will be aware I am claiming misfeasance/malfeasance and negligent misstatement against a small group of the CASA Executive Management, including Mr. Shane Carmody, Mr. Jonathan Aleck, Mr. Craig Martin, and Mr. Graeme Crawford
I allege that those personnel acted unlawfully, and breached my rights under Administrative Law, Procedural Fairness, and Natural Justice. They acted vindictively and vexatiously.
Their conduct has resulted in the closure of a number of businesses, associated loss of jobs, and bought enormous damage to my mental health, and caused enormous economic damage to me personally. You will also be aware that I have made multiple attempts over the last two years to meet with the Board, and you have chosen not to afford me that opportunity. As you will appreciate, from my perspective each of you has been complicit in facilitating a cover-up of this matter and clearly failed in your respective roles to ensure the good governance of CASA. I will raise these same allegations against you when presented the opportunity before the Senate Committee.
You will each be aware that similar allegations have been raised against these personnel before, and in fact, their conduct formed the basis of an ABC investigative story aired on the ABC.
Your failure to act ethically and with good intention is a clear failure against CASAs' own published Regulatory Philosophy, and the obligations placed on you when you accepted a position on the Board of CASA.
For clarity, those personnel took three separate and distinct, and deliberate actions.
Stage One- Without any warning at all, and not based on any safety allegations, CASA reversed my business's approval and placed restrictions on the business's ability to trade. That business was called the Australian Pilot Training Alliance (APTA). I emphasize that by CASAs' own admission there were no safety allegations or allegations of regulatory breaches. On multiple occasions and in writing I advised CASA that those restrictions on my business's ability to trade would cost me in excess of $10,000 per week if I were to avoid business closures and redundancies. After 8 months of having those restrictions applied, the business was unable to continue trading and was sold at 5% of its value to ensure the continuing employment of my highly valued personnel. I was dealing not with a matter of law but only a "change of opinion" by Mr. Jonathan Aleck in his role as CASA Executive Manager of Legal, International, and Regulatory Affairs.
Stage Two- Those CASA personnel then advised that I had to transfer my remaining business Melbourne Flight Training (MFT) to the new owners of APTA. The Commonwealth Ombudsman has investigated this matter and clearly found that conduct to be unlawful.
Stage Three- After the failure of APTA and the transfer of my remaining flying school, I managed to obtain employment within the industry whilst continuing to defend my reputation and my position, until CASA sent a direction to my employer that my "continuing employment was untenable based on comments that I was making publicly."
The purpose of this correspondence is to ensure that you are each aware of my allegations and I draw your attention to the following "thread" running on this topic. You will note that it has had over 650,000 views and strong feedback supporting my position. https://www.pprune.org/australia-new-zea...-casa.html
Whilst I am confident that each of you are fully aware of this thread, I wish to ensure you have been notified and availed with the opportunity to familiarize yourselves with it, as it will form the basis of my "submission".
Yours thankfully, Glen Buckley.
