004 #2170 -"[Although] the report is now locked away safely in a much stronger CHUBB safe than the ASSR submissions were locked in, it is still being debated how and if to release its content publicly"
IF true, this is a job for the Senate IOS if ever there was one; free the report. Seems to me that the Canadian report belongs to the Senators, had it not been for their efforts it would never have existed. Truss may have every legal right to hide or to release a report, very much in the national interest, as and when it suits. But is denying the Australian air travellers a publicly funded report into their safety a very risky move?. The wretched media should be screaming for this report to be released, –particularly the 'opposition' media, the ABC for example. If Shorten had half a brain he'd grab this large, emotive club and set about beating the Abbott crowd to death with it;
"Australians denied critical air safety health report", the guttersnipes and loony left would have a field day.
If the report was a 'glowing' testament, brimming with good cheer and better news, it would be released; Beaker crowing and sneering at the Senate. Clearly this is not the case; and IF the minuscule is sitting on the report he is not only denying the public access to critical safety information, but (IMO) further increasing that risk and defrauding the public at the same time. It may be legal, but it's a dishonourable act.
Beaker always claimed that 'they' would get first whack and right of reply (comment) however, no matter how many myths are perpetuated or clever edits made to ease the passage, the facts and the truth will always be there, waiting.
The perfidious nature of the mythical Australian air safety brag will, one day, be savagely exposed; by burnt bodies, smoking metal, shattered families and ruined lives if this dark comedy is allowed to continue. But hey, no matter – pilot error is so very easy to prove and has never let us down yet. Just so long as the budget is in order and it can be proven that our safety agencies had no hand in the tragedy; all will be well. Arse covering checklist – complete to the line.
Release the F<->king report, before it gets Willy leaked. I'm sure one of the attendees at the Las Vegas 'Black Hat' conference could oblige, if asked nicely.
"[will] force itself back into the spotlight this week at the - Black Hat - hacking conference in Las Vegas".
