Staff describe a toxic culture, with the CAA’s director “asleep at the wheel”.

Data obtained by the Herald has revealed over six hundred thousand dollars has been spent on legal fees related to employment issues, complaints and investigations.

And it has prompted warnings that the agency’s investigative approach could mean ‘more people will die’.
