The Senate committee must, by now be fully informed as to what's going on. We must just hope (or encourage) that their wonderings lead them to the inevitable conclusion; they're being done over by the same crowd they publicly exposed as charlatans.
The same crowd which mislead, obfuscated and 'file stuffed' their merry way through the AAI review now have recruited another ally, one with power and influence in their campaign to demonstrate that the Senate is a eunuch. The Senate report was damning, the Forsyth report, in a very subtle manner, even more so. It is reasonable to assume that the TSBC report on the ATSB is equally condemning.
The longer the TSBC report is delayed, the more alarmed the Australian public must be, not so much for their collective safety in the air, but for the inability Australia has to correct the flaws and minimise the risks of maintaining that safety standard.
What concerns me and should concern the TSBC is that the Canadian integrity can be so easily compromised and their charter as quickly confounded at the request of a foreign government, one desperately trying to convince the world to 'move along' – nothing to see here'. Probably played the 'national interest card' at some diplomatic tea party which soothed the fat cats but is driving the TSBC coal face troops nuts.
Soteria –"What do you think Minister, should the Australian chapter of the IOS take their concerns about your tactics of burying important and critical reports to a new level and commence a campaign for transparency upon our Canadian neighbours?".
If Truss and his minions get away with this despicable cover up Australian standards will achieve a new all time low, fully supported by the Government minister who was too either to scared to care, too under the thumb to listen; or, just too idle to act – subjugated by and subservient to faceless public servants. This, by the by, emasculates the Senate, rendering the committee not only nugatory but irrelevant to the aftermath of the future incidents. The last line of defence undermined.
What makes the minuscule think that report has not been seen or even "edited" by the likes of 'independent' analysts ?. Is there not, within the camaraderie of 'safety experts' a system of peer review?; prior to publication – for 'proof reading', 'editorial' purposes and the like. Either the Canadians publish or; someone else will – hopefully in the international media. With egg-on-face for the Canucks who sold out to the Australians who bought it.
The TSBC report is every bit as damning as the Forsyth and Senate reports. They know it; the world knows it; how to cover it all up remains the sole question.
I wish 'them' the best of luck with that; burnt metal and high media drama, like flowers around a lamppost fade into irrelevance; as they must. But the notion of 'who's to bless and who's to blame' lives on, it lives long; hard and resolutely. Publish or perish is a universal maxim.
Selah..-.- &....
