Devil Double..double..toil and trouble!

Look's like Ben's forecasting 8 octas of CBs over Fort Fumble tonight and there is no Tempo or Inter...just a Prob of Steam fog for the wee hours.. Ben1...Ben2...Ben3...Ben4

Don't hold back Ben!

And the Minister is still MIA?? You'd think that the following quotes from Senator Fawcett's speech would have at least grabbed his attention just a teency little bit..:
So we have a situation where CASA—who have an obligation, under the memorandum of understanding, to disclose to the ATSB when they are aware of or hold, information relevant to an accident investigation—withheld the information of the Chambers report, which is their internal document, and when, as a directly interested party, they were given a draft of the report and the opportunity to say, 'No, this is not correct; there are organisational factors both with the company and the regulator that you should be aware of,' they chose not to do that. That comes very close to breaching, if it does not actually breach, the transport safety act. It certainly does nothing to boost public confidence and it does nothing to enhance the safety outcomes that could have been achieved through this investigation.
And this:
The last point I would raise is that the Chambers report indicated that CASA felt they were underresourced and their people, in many cases, did not have the requisite insight and, in some cases, skills, knowledge or background to do the auditing
Then remember that it was revealed that the Chambers report was used by FF to justify getting additional funding for training etc from DoIT...so the Q/ is did DoIT also possibly breach the TSI Act and all under this Minister's watch???

Hmm..any bets on when we'll pass 500k??

PS Ben has picked up on the Senator Fawcett 'speech'...
