Twin Beech, thanks, but once again I'm going to repeat that you'd expect that out of 30 pages the ATSB might devote 1 sentences to whether the Australian procedure differed from ICAO and might have been a factor. The ATSB reports repeatedly fail to identify and deal with all potentially relevant factors.

Going back to an earlier point of mine, the ATSB does not identify whether the captain acknowledged any or all of the ATC instructions. The report beats up the pilot for not responding to a go-around request but is mute on whether the pilot acknowledged or read back the instruction. If he did, then he's got no-where to hide. If he did not, then the controller needs to be asked why he waited a further 35 seconds before trying again.
