Pretty lightweight really, just skipped around the edges. As said earlier, nothing most of us didn't already know.

Maybe it's time to re-visit both the Monarch and Seaview Coronial findings and the Seaview Royal Commission and see how the Public Service's bureaucratic mind and ethics have responded to those reports. Probably the CASA we have now.

The validity of aviation accident investigation in Australia has not been enhanced by the creation of the ATSB. With a career public servant as its head what hope have professional aviation investigators got in overcoming the 'Yes Minister' syndrome.

I wonder how much public service fluff coloured/influenced the published Whyalla report!

I suppose you can't expect much more from a program (or SBS) that relies on some public servant to sign the cheque that funds them.
