Fed: CASA president rejects Dick Smith s claims

Civil Aviation Safety Authority president MICK TOLLER has rejected claims of internal
fighting by millionaire businessman DICK SMITH.

Mr TOLLER has also denied Mr SMITH'S claims that the two major domestic carriers are
self regulating, and that the aviation watchdog doesn't stand up to them.

He's told Channel Nine that CASA treats Qantas and Ansett and all other airlines equally,
and the authority isn't afraid to give them a tough time when they need it .

Mr TOLLER has also rejected claims that he's been instructed by Transport Minister
JOHN ANDERSON not to publicise any problems.
