Found a SMH piece about the court case
But Ms Casey says the airline and its pilots knew or ought to have known that Norfolk Island was notorious for sudden and extreme weather variations, and had the crew checked the revised forecast earlier into the flight, they could have diverted the plane to New Zealand or New Caledonia.She also says the pilots failed to activate an emergency locator transmitter or personal locator beacons and failed to deploy the liferaft prior to abandoning the plane.

Seems they are reporting Ms Casey agrees with the ATSB, very strange indeed
