I doubt she has any idea of the complexity of the accident chain ( she most certainly is not an expert legal boffin!).
It’s clear when legal boffins and politicians and the general public comment on Erebus that they have no working understanding of VMC, VFR, IFR, MSA etc ( how could they?). In most documents I’ve read on this crash, non-pilot authors demonstrate that they simply don’t understand what it is that keeps them safe when they take their holidays by air, the general principals that allow them to descend through the cloud and find the runway without hitting terrain.
It often seems obvious that they have sought advice from experts, only partially understood it, then applied their authority, or in the case of Holmes just written their opinion like it was fact. Jacinda is no different.
It would be remarkable if only one party carried responsibility and the other parties were completely ‘innocent’. Almost unthinkable that such a terrible outcome wasn’t the result of a chain of errors made by several parties. Yet that’s what we bang on about.
