The "conspiracy" gets larger, encompassing every aviation related agency in Australia.
Kharon, are you saying that "Australias proud aviation safety record" is in reality just dumb luck so far?I thought ATSB was competent, as is AsA and CASA.
The point being made isn't one of conspiracy, it is a mere fact that ALL governments lie, deceive, spin, twist, distort, are corrupt and dishonest when they are in the wrong. You guys should study Erebus a bit more closely and have a look at the lengths a government will go to for the purpose of distancing itself from blame or accountability.
Why do you think Regulatory bodies are normally run by senior bureaucrats - they are well trained masters in spin, lie and deflection and positioned for the sole purpose of keeping politicians asses covered.
No conspiracy in that.
