Game, set and match to CASA. Glen Buckley wouldn’t get a lawyer and now he has destroyed what chances he might have had of getting some restitution.
In his post today, unless I’m mistaken, I think Mr. Buckley just confessed to assaulting a CASA staff member.
Glen, mate, why Oh why didn’t you get a lawyer?
From here onwards it is a simple matter for CASA to request Court orders preventing Mr. Buckley from going anywhere near CASA staff or its offices. The Ombudsman’s report is a suitable excuse to terminate further communication with Buckley. His CASA files will be under lock and key with a note in the system to refer any communications to the legal department.
I would imagine, given what Buckley has just admitted, that his foreshadowed meeting with DAS and Chairman will have witnesses and security staff available. I assume their purpose in agreeing to meet is to try and give poor Glen some closure, considering his mental state.

Quote: I used a technique that i used in my time at Youth Justice, and that was to place by center three fingers gently on the chest, and ask the person to step back, which in this case the FOI did.
The terminology used in this FOIs statement is exaggerated and colorful. I WAS heightened, and I do not deny that. I did not shove any CASA Employee, and that CASA Employee would not have had to change his feet positioning at all, in order to maintain balance. It is a gesture that i use to emphasize that is the limit, and nothing more. This entire "event" happened within 15 meters of a staffed security desk, and no security personnel noticed the event, intervened
