From ATSB report summary, my bolding.
The operator’s investigation into the accident concluded that radio frequency interference was the most likely cause of the accident.
...
The operator acknowledged that further testing and analysis was required before the primary cause of the accident could be confirmed beyond doubt.
Given the profile of this incident, it would have been very beneficial to the sector for the ATSB to have conducted or arranged an independent investigation into the cause of this accident and based the report on actual evidence.
The availability of autopilot telemetry would show very specifically what went wrong.
