Maybe its a conspiracy and the ATSB is trying to use this as
Capt Wally mentioned, and are try to teach others to learn from his mistakes, ie his reputation for shortcutting established procedures and operating in weather conditions below the minima instead of diluting it with an engine failure and having ppl relate to the crash to that rather than the fact he should never have been in that situation in the first place!
Whatever the reason for the report remaining as originally finalized, you could imagine it would be a reasonably legitimate one, save them having to cover their butts later on, they must be confident of the findings.
