Hi Missy – Not sure how to take your repetition of my words in regard to reports, so I choose to ignore any implied sarcasm.
Reading the Victorian Coroner's Act I would expect the Office to hold an inquiry – indeed I am aware of how the NSW Coroner handled a mid-air collision at Coolangatta in which four pilots died.
I would however also expect the coroner to wait for both a report from the police and from ATSB before launching such an inquiry. I dare say, like us, the Victorian Coroner is wondering what happened to the ATSB report.
