From the report it seems to me more of a issue with side stick control, and !ESS of an issue with thrust. They were way. Below the path and added full nose down at 24' .......
Yikes..
I speed read the report (an amazing job; as always ATSB..) and this has hallmarks of a textbook Cockpit Culture prang.
The PM at MAS can only 'encourage' a Go around??
My mob strongly adheres to the 'call it, honor it' philosophy. Let's not break the jet and we can talk about it later; hell, we're paid by the minute. Flight Ops & FOQA say we're still not doing enough go arounds...
The PM (FO)

help a little with some dual input?
Airbus does stuff directly, and the rule of primacy is a very powerful thing. I understand that sinking close to the ground (especially after a long days work) fires up a very strong instinct to catch the sink with power; but thats why we train. And brief. And go around if it looks ugly. 4 red is ugly.
