Paragraph377:
An interesting comment by Creampuff on another thread indicates that with the induction of a new government there is a cancellation of previous enquiries that were undertaken in relation to the previous governments activities, for example the senate inquiry into aviation. Can anybody confirm whether this is absolute fact?

From page 106 of ATsBeaker's annual report 2012-13:
Response to Senate Inquiry
On 13 September 2012 the Senate referred the matter of aviation accident investigations to the Senate References Committee on Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport for inquiry and report. The terms of reference addressed:
- the findings of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau into the ditching of VH-NGA Westwind II, operated by Pel-Air Aviation Pty Ltd, in the ocean near Norfolk Island airport on 18 November 2009;
- the nature of, and protocols involved in, communications between agencies and directly interested parties in an aviation accident investigation and the reporting process;
- the mechanisms in place to ensure recommendations from aviation accident investigations are implemented in a timely manner; and
- any related matters.
On 23 May 2013, the committee presented its report. The committee’s report contained 26 recommendations, a number of which were directed towards the ATSB. The report included additional comments from Senator Nick Xenophon, including an extra recommendation.
Under Parliamentary convention, governments are expected to respond to committee reports within three months. However, the Caretaker Conventions stipulate that responses to outstanding parliamentary committee reports should be taken up with the incoming government.
Hope that helps??
