I stopped reading the aviation pages of the Australian a long time ago and you have just confirmed why. If it is just going to provide opinion pieces as content then even the battered fish will be asking to be wrapped in something else.
I am interested to see how the MoP plays out and whether it has more teeth than a mere Senate recommendation. I know the Senate takes it seriously but does anyone else? I would like to think it does because any public evidence given at an Inquiry supposedly has some form of Parlimentary privilege protecting the evidence provider.
