Read my edited post. I was wrong in asserting that the person in the right hand seat refused to say anything to ATSB.
However, my position continues to be that I would refuse to cooperate with the ATSB, given what has happened. The ATSB could exercise its powers under section 32 of the TSI, and I would comply strictly with a notice under that section. But I’m not cooperating and they’ll get the minimum necessary for compliance.
That it should come to this is a sad commentary on the perversion of ATSB’s role.
