I have started a new thread on this because after reading an article in
The Australian this morning, and also the editorial, it appears that it is going to be at least two and a half years from the incident to when the report actually sees the light of day.
A summary of the incident can be seen on the ATSB website
here:

How could a report about such a simple incident take so long?
Could it be that the original report recommends that Airservices use the radar properly at Mt Hotham (let’s say bring in a bit of Class E airspace) and no one can bring themselves to actually put this in writing, as it may confirm what others have been saying for years?
This is a rumour network. Does anyone have a factually based rumour on why the delay has been so great?
It is also interesting that the report on Richard Green’s fatal helicopter crash, now two years ago, has still not seen the light of day. It keeps getting put off and put off.
What is going on here? It would be fascinating to know.
