Further details about the crash are unknown at this time, but a Queensland Police Service spokeswoman said the incident would undergo a Workplace Health and Safety investigation.
If true, applaud this decision and hope that such investigations are conducted into all GA aircraft accidents that are engaged in commercial activity.
It is frustrating that Victorian and NSW workplace saftey regulators do not become involved in GA accidents. They blame budgets.
In some accidents there isn't even a coroners investigation.
Do we think Australian police and accident investigators reports drill into subtle commercial workplace pressures? My experience is they definitely do not!
