Yeah, OK - use of the word "alleged" regarding some incidents was inappropriate, would have been more appropriate to maybe say "alleged accidents" which are fortunately lacking in Oz.
How do you quantify if the regulator is doing things properly??
I can only do so by looking at broken aircraft, body bags and manifests of persons missing, "presumed dead"; so far fortunately lacking in Oz, not so in Indonesia.
In fairness the regulator is only one part of all the components (training, resources, aircraft airworthiness etc etc) that come together to build a framework in an effort to maximise safety and minimise accidents, incidents will always occur (hell you can injure yourself getting out of bed and falling over the cat, if the cat doesn't get you the meteor hitting your house surely well!
), hopefully they don't turn into accidents and weaknesses that caused the incident(s) are identified and addressed.
