Creampuff gets a chocy frog for causing me to have a lightbulb moment;
Ironically, I agree there would be no safety purpose.
Even if the ATSB had the corporate integrity, it no longer has the corporate competence to do adequate investigations.
So considering the ATSB's sole function is not to investigate accidents thoroughly, rather it is to protect the Government from bad publicity, I totally agree with the budget cut and redundancies!!! Cull another dozen investigators along with admin staff, cleaners, office leases and so forth. Then employ just a handful of
PR people, one HR administrator and get rid of all three Commisioners and hand over their no longer relevant function to their puppet master MrDak who can handball running the department to the twerps in PMC. I reckon that will save the penny pinching Government $20m per year.
Investigators, what investigators?
