Several I know pulled out of Bass Strait. One still there... AusSAR, many thanks and glad you're there. Unfortunately this incident in the western part of the strait, well,.....
Remember hearing about this on the morning radio when it happened: univeersally: " what a complete c(r)ock up". Nothing on 4corners last night changed that. Not unreasonable to ask why.
As always when asking why the issue should be not to establish fault or find a bunnie in an organisation, but to identify a way to avoid the situation happening again (not that the lawyers agree). If the perception is that an organisation is unwilling to sort out it's own problem, and certainly the head of that organisation failed to reassure me on the box, then it's entirely proper that the media flame that organisation. That's just what happened.
