I'm not taking any particular side here but, ATSB made a bug fuss in The Senate about having cash then stating they have no cash. Perhaps they may explain to the Senators next sittings exactly what the position WRT cash is?
Tax increases aside, there seems to be a move of recent to foist these matters onto QLD Police for investigation. I refer Hemple, The Imbil Dragon and now this.
Queenslanders are taxpayers as well, and it's probably OK for them to ask why an aviation investigation body is not capable or willing to do an investigation, (if only for the Coroner), but they are prepared to spend QLD time, effort and money and take the Police away from other meaningful tasks.
