The fact that you've responded with reasoned thought suggests you do, in fact, give quite a bit of a damn...
I hope the parliamentary committee that rules on this issue will take a lot of viewpoints into consideration and come up with the best 'fit' for us here in Australia. The Yanks have some great ideas, and IMHO their NTSB is a model our ATSB should strive towards, but as has been suggested, there are some significant differences in the aviation cultures between the two countries.
