The recent post by Low Flier basically says it all.
Until the Australian government executive arm became directly involved in the
PR issues, and removed AMSA and ATSB from providing media releases, we were provided with factual information and graphics showing what was going on.
Now that the new agency (JACC) has taken overall control operationally and in releasing information to the media, the public are being treated to "sound bites", "photo opportunities", and political "back-slapping". Little of anything "factual" is now available. The show goes on, but the well oiled veil of a secret military controlled operation has now quietly been put in place. When did they last find a plastic shopping bag?
EDIT:: Seems that
AMSA are now continuing to provide their media graphics updates separately to whatever appears on the
JACC website. Thanks to those who alerted me. This means the first part of my post was not warranted, and is of course now redundant.
