Whereas your own child-like, rose tinted messianic view of Mahon report is .........well, not loveable.

Nonsense. Maurice Williamson, as Minister of Transport "tabled the Mahon report in Parliament". A symbolic gesture that means nothing, and without performing his own detailed analysis, could be considered an abuse of position. Jacinda Ardern said what she did a few days ago; but I would hold the opinions of Donald Trump, Kim Dotcom and my cat in higher regard when it comes to ascribing responsibility for the Erebus disaster. Neither of these equates to "successive governments have already admitted Mahon got it right".

True, and this is a shame. But you could still re-examine the evidence available and any competent observer would conclude that Air New Zealand, Civil Aviation, ALPA, and Jim Collins all committed errors in the absence of which the disaster would not have occurred.
