Having just come in from the spud paddocks , thought I would indulge in some what my mother calls "NBN waste of time" and a Boags' liquid lunch.

Dazzlingly fast to the ATSB home page.

And now the missing double go round LAHSO incident at Melbourne listed on the investigations web page.

A third aircraft apparently involved that also got airborne, a 777 to Singapore.

Nick Xenaphon identifies and ATSB shamed into action.

Maybe he should be doing the SAFESKIES keynote, be a lot more interesting!

As for the Senate last week, I watched it with my father.  

Well known for his wisdom, he commented after with a saying of Confucius:

"he who talks so much has something to hide"

Back to the bush paddocks to kill a few wallabies.

Good catch FJ, for the benefit of those interested...

Ps Dear ATSB I think you have a typo on estimated completion date? July 2016 - Shouldn't that be July 2020?
