Fed: Major overhaul of CASA announced = 2

Aviation activist DICK SMITH .. former Department of Transport and Regional Services
secretary ALLAN HAWKE .. JEFF BOYD and ROB GRAHAM will sit on the taskforce.

Labor has immediately slammed the taskforce .. saying it's a bandaid measure.

Shadow Transport Minister MARTIN FERGUSON says it's been set up to hide Mr VAILE'S
own failure to hold CASA to account.

Mr FERGUSON says no serious review of regulation can exclude Australia's major airline operators.

He also says Mr SMITH is part of the bad old past of CASA .. not a safe future and
what is needed is new blood and people who have the respect of the industry.
