Chapter 7, page 1 says it all

Chapter 7, page 1 says it all.
(Page 90 of the Senate Report)

I feel for the poor old BASI guys, reading this Senate Report, in their nursing homes.
Someone should search a few out, and go and interview them.
ABC 4 Corners producers ?
How about "part two" to "Crash Landing" ?.

For those with long memories back to the 1970's, the old "without fear or favour" BASI reports were worth reading, and learning from. The Recent ATSB reports are not (eg: Norfolk, Lockhart River, Canley Vale, and manyothers).

Compare CASA to the old DCA ?
Let's not go there just now.

The Senate Committee Report's Recomendations are a "sighting" in the right direction, but only that, only a "sighting". They are not a "bearing", let alone a "course", let alone a "track made good".

Will they be accepted, by the parliament, the minister, the ATSB, or CASA ?
Will they be implented in actual fact ?
Will there be "RESISTENCE", with only "lip service" paid ?
Will there only be a few "adjustments" around the edges, to give the perception of "a fix" ?

SUCH ORGANISATIONS AS THESE ARE VERY ADEPT AT DEFLECTING ATTACKS ON THEMSELVES.
Besides, there will be an election in a few months.
They only need to play the waiting game.

It begs the question though, how do you fix a system so, so, so terribly broken ?

Start again, with two independent clean sheets of paper, with a demand that they never be allowed to get into bed again ?
Now who would have the balls to do that ?
The relevant shadow minister is .............. ?
