That looks pretty nasty slab. Any more info on how/what/why that happened? That main gear is in an odd spot and is that a massive crinkle in the rear fuselage?
ATSB have it listed as a "collision with terrain" - not surprising considering how it looks in the photo!
The fence in the photo, I'm guessing it's the airport perimeter fence. Is the plane inside or outside the fence- ie did the plane come down on approach before the airport or has it come off the end of the runway?

Also, unless I'm blind, I don't see anything on the ATSB site about the EN Kingair. You'd think a gear collapse would have been reported and on the website. So I'm left thinking, did they report it or was it not as bad as has been reported (say maybe just a blown tyre or two and unable to taxi instead of a gear collapse)?
