of particular importance, i believe:

The relatively minor injuries suffered by the occupants of the aircraft indicated that the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill in ditching the aircraft. The report includes a recommendation to CASA regarding guidance material for pilots on ditching.
and,

With regard to Whyalla Airlines itself, issues were identified in the company that had the potential to adversely influence safety. There was insufficient information to conclude that any of these issues were of significance with respect to the accident.
Was it just one of those crappy things that occasionally happen?
