From Kharon's -
SHAME for Truss. 
At the moment the CASA is staring down a damning report from a Senate committee, which through the investigation of one small incident uncovered a nightmare web of deception, incompetence, 'flexibility' of standards and a total disregard of expert advice. Notwithstanding the flagrant disregard for due process, protocol and the law the most sinister aspect of CASA process was revealed – a willingness to cloud over or cover up the absolute shambles. There can, from the evidence provided, be seen a clear trail of collusion, second agenda and the absolutely crystal clear intention of the manager overseeing the process to manipulate the investigation to suit a predetermined outcome. On May 23, 2013 the Senate released a damning report which, supported by an acknowledged aviation expert, made 26 serious, far reaching recommendations for reform of the regulator, which have simply been ignored by the current Minister, the CASA board and CASA.
And in an earlier post the Ferryman revealed (if true) a very disturbing rumour...
:
I expect the Senate will be interested to see if 'CASA' is ever going to allow the release of the TSBC report. The rumour is that the TSBC have released it; ATSB have seen it as has Truss, but 'CASA' are blocking the publication. Although why is a mystery; what TF has it to do with CASA or the Murky Machiavellian puppet master crew is beyond my humble reach. Normally a tale like that would be dismissed out of hand; but with so much going on behind closed doors, it's hard to know what to believe.
A mystery indeed...
Also passing strange is how the ATsB 'go to' man, who was tasked with keeping all interested parties updated with the progress of the TSBC peer review, has from all reports suddenly gone mute?? Ironically this individual also heads up the ATsB
Public Interest Disclosure scheme, see

A public interest disclosure can be reported to any of the following authorised officers in the ATSB:

Oh well whatever FF (and by association M&M) are trying to cover up, there is no doubt in my mind that the TSBC report cannot be stellar in it's appraisal of the ATsBeaker...
Despite the attempts of obfuscation, by parties outside of our supposedly independent AAI, the TSBC report will eventually have to be released, after all the TSBC have a seriously stellar reputation to uphold...
Finally it should again be highlighted that it is within the power of the miniscule to force the release of the TSBC report.
Shame on you miniscule..SHAME!
