The ATSB is a tragic organisation and even more tragic is the fact they will now "play" with this investigation for years and tell us nothing!
I hope the relatively new Chief Commissioner has learned the lessons of the past and moves this along.
Perhaps the CC could start by closing out the Hotham investigation. Alternatively he could come out and say "unlike the rest of the world we are unable to complete an investigation in 12 month. I apologise for our incompetence, watch me at the inevitable Senate inquiry that Senator X will call"
Make way for the US lawyers.....
