Senator Brown asked the Minister representing the Minister for Transport and Regional Services, upon notice, on 30 March 2004:

In relation to civil aviation incidents that caused safety concerns, which were reported to, or investigated by, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA): (a) how many incidents occurred in each of the past 5 years; (b) how many occurred during the period of altered operation of aircraft management; and (c) how long was that period.


Senator Ian Campbell (Minister for Local Government, Territories and Roads) —The Minister for Transport and Regional Services has provided the following answer to the honourable senator's question:

CASA's investigative focus is on breaches of the regulations it administers, and it does not, as a matter of course, investigate civil aviation incidents that cause safety concerns. This is the responsibility of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.
