....although the usual spin and obfuscation will no doubt emanate from the bureau report, lines like:
Conclusion
No organisational or systemic issues that might adversely affect the future safety of aviation operations were identified as a result of this investigation.
Or this when it comes to any worthwhile safety recommendations coming out of the incident:
SAFETY ACTION
Whether or not the ATSB identifies safety issues in the course of an investigation, relevant organisations may proactively initiate safety action in order to reduce their safety risk. The ATSB has been advised of the following proactive safety
action in response to this occurrence.
Which seems to be all we get since the 'Beaker', the 'Miller report' and the subsequent 'MOU'.
As an extension of my above exercise take a look at this comparison between the NTSB and the ATSB for safety recommendations submitted:
Safety Recommendation Comparison
NTSB: (methodology)
Safety Recommendations - Search & View
The NTSB issues safety recommendations as a result of its investigation of transportation accidents and other safety concerns. Recommendations usually identify a specific problem uncovered during an investigation or study and specify how to correct the situation. Letters containing the recommendations are directed to the organization best able to act on the problem, whether it be public or private.
ATSB: (methodology)
Safety issues are broadly classified in terms of their level of risk as follows:
Critical safety issue: associated with an intolerable level of risk and generally leading to the immediate issue of a safety recommendation unless corrective safety action has already been taken.
Significant safety issue: associated with a risk level regarded as acceptable only if it is kept as low as reasonably practicable. The ATSB may issue a safety recommendation or a safety advisory notice if it assesses that further safety action may be practicable.
Minor safety issue: associated with a broadly acceptable level of risk, although the ATSB may sometimes issue a safety advisory notice.
Safety action: the steps taken or proposed to be taken by a person, organisation or agency in response to a safety issue.

It is also obvious from a perusal of other member states of the ICAO that the "Safety Recommendation" methodology is still being embraced, if anything expanded. Meanwhile here in Oz it's being eroded and replaced by spin and obfuscation!
Here's some examples:
