Jinglie #1907 –"Get the facts on these guys and go to the Senate with solid evidence."
The Senate committee were onto the game and were all set to 'cut 'em a new one'; the WLR surfaced with a tight brief and narrow scope, even with those constraints they managed to bury the industry submissions. When the hoo-hah of the WLR is over, we can only hope that Fawcett becomes the aviation 'go-to-man' and Xenophon retains his zeal to get to the bottom of this putrid barrel we call aviation oversight and safety.
I believe Truss has been, once again, badly advised. His committee in the parliament Senate are cranky, they have had a glimpse of the truth; and, with a bit of luck after the budget brouhaha has calmed down; they will get back to work. Next estimates and probably the next few weeks will tell the tale; how much of that story will 'escape' into daylight is unknown. The hatch, match and dispatch list from Sleepy Hollow may give some clues.
As it stands, the neutered Senate committee represents a tragedy in a great waste of time, talent and money.
