For those that couldn't trawl through the link, this was in response to the event which you mention putytat:
SMITH: What the air traffic... you're saying, sure. The air traffic controller allowed the Virgin plane to descend right into the smaller plane. By the way, both planes were on radar, both planes were talking to air traffic control. The air traffic controller allowed this to happen. It's basically criminal.
They did the same thing in Melbourne a few weeks ago where they turned a small plane, under radar control, under the Virgin plane, and then let the Virgin plane descend right on the top of it again.
Fancy just giving traffic in Class E to an IFR about a VFR; you should separate all remember; ya bunch of criminals.
