The ATSB has been instructed and even threatened by the government to keep aviation safety out of the news and it has done that very effectively," said Smith. "The announcements are always done before Christmas in the silly season when Parliament is not in session."
Dick - if you really said that on the public record I hope they sue your arse off.
If you have got some proof - put up or shut t.f. up.
Your petty response has not (as usual) addressed the challenge made that you have your facts wrong. So do you admit you have your facts wrong? Or are they false as well under threat from the government (who are on holidays you say? What - do they have a summer duty roster of threat makers?)
It will be a happy new year for everyone if we don't hear your ridiculous comments for 12 months.
Ever thought about going in to Public Relations? For a sector you purport to champion, you sure portray a solid impression of someone intent on destroying Australias aviation reputation.
