The CASA RPPL proposal would have let *you* go on doing what you do
now, which I pointed out. Did you ever read it?

Perhaps it might occur to you that if the GFA had real competition
and had to work to get members it might improve, along with your opinion of it?

See above. Of course many glider pilots already do hold a PPL, CPL or
ATPL. If there was a simple CASA recognised glider add on, some of
the other PPL, CPL and ATPL people might want to do a little gliding.
There are at least 10 times as many of them as there are glider
pilots, they can already fly and are to some extent or other
interested in aviation. One might think they would be a fertile
recruiting ground for new glider pilots. I guess GFA would rather
lock gliding up in their little (shrinking) hermit kingdom.
It may be news to you but you already fly under CASA. CASA simply
sub-contracts to the GFA. GFA represents CASA's interests here, not yours.
You might like to try to figure out just who *is* representing your interests.
