The Civil Aviation Accident Commission, of course, is not giving out the tiniest detail about the accident until their required factual report "suppossely" one month after the accident (they have a backlog of accidents for which they haven't even published that on time, against their own regulations). If it was up to them, they wouldn't publish anything at all for 3 years, I'm sure.
I realize that the above is only an opinion embedded in an otherwise clear factual personal report, but there are other opinions about this as well.

The CAA(sic) is no doubt constrained by the judicial enquiry in early news release to the public. However, any issues to do with the aircraft systems itself that would be appropriate for dessemination to prevent accidents would be available through the aviation community that needs it. In that case as factors are confirmed this information flows through a different pipeline and not always in the newspapers.
