Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced his Government was “very confident” that missing flight MH370’s black box recorder had been located.
But his statement seemed to be at odds with a statement released just minutes afterwards by the head of the MH370 search team, Air Chief Marshall Angus Houston.

Government sources told news.com.au they were confident the Prime Minister’s remarks were factual.
It is understood search teams will not announce the discovery of the black box until the flight recorder has been sighted.
Mr Abbott is also due to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping for a state dinner in Beijing tonight. He said that he would hold back on announcing more information until he had briefed the president, out of respect for the many Chinese families who had relatives on board the flight.
