Is CASA or ATSB considered part of the Commonwealth Government?
According to the Age Newspaper, the new Sedition laws will make it an
offense punishable with up to seven years prison to 'urge disaffection
against the ,,, Commonwealth Government'
So to urge disaffection with CASA could mean Jail!!!!

Sorry if this is slightly off subject. I'm still having problems
believing this article.

CASA isn't the elephant: it is ATSB that has the primary role (used to
be the only role until April 2004) in accident investigation. CASA
has always - well, for the past 22 years at least - since CASA was
responsible for funding, paid the GFA and its peers to analyse the
RESULTS of accident investigations to determine whether the standards
were adequate. And while some in the GFA would like to have an
independent investigator, that depends very much on the
public-interest value of the safety lessons to be learned. We have
some very committed people in the CASA Sport Aviation section, and our
terms of reference are effectively to work through the administering
organisations - because we are tasked with general oversight of the
GFA's administration of RULES and STANDARDS as well as assisting with
SAFETY PROMOTION.
