"In particular, the Privy Council said, and I quote, “the Royal Commission Report convincingly clears Captain Collins and First Officer Cassin of any suggestion that negligence on their part had in any way contributed to the disaster. That is unchallenged.”
Those findings stood then, and they stand now. The pilots were not responsible for this tragedy, and I stand here today to state that again."
Prime Minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern. 28th November 2019.
