As far as experience goes it looks like from the ATSB report the FO was a former overseas ATR Captain with thousands of hours of ATR experience who was relegated to the right seat. Whilst the Captain (who surprisingly joined the company after the FO) was a former Australian military pilot who seems to have gained a direct entry command with zero ATR or commercial flying experience. Given it seems the inadvertent control movement emanated from the Captain it seems that's where the experience gap was.
