Good catch P2 – useful web-site. A couple of statements made there could stand a little reasonable doubt cast over them.
The ‘Chambers Report’ had and still has to this day, some large, dark clouds hanging over it; not only is it ‘mostly' copied and pasted, but is 'almost plagiarised’, shamelessly from the work of better, qualified men. It is badly written and ‘anally’ fixated on ‘confrontation’. But it was, in the opinion of many, shall we just say, designed not to be complimentary to other 'qualified' officers ‘working’ the case.
Many believe the document was kept under wraps as it formed the basis for a weeding session, where certain rebellious, recalcitrant flowers in the garden were to be culled – all for the general good of course. Not many would say that this second rate report had any great impact on safety outcomes; even less on regulatory reform. It only ever firmly secured the willing accomplices to what has become an infamous event in the long, sorry history of that which we call the CASA.
Yet the Lord Mayors parade keeps rolling along, leaving the mess in it’s triumphant wake; waiting for someone to turn up with a dust cart and broom.
Shameful?– betch’a boots it is. Anything done about it? - Silly bloody question.
Quote:"One document, the Chambers Review of CASA, ordered by McCormick and kept secret from the ATSB, found that the ditching of a tiny Westwind air ambulance flight near Norfolk Island in November 2009 might have been avoided had the regulator been doing its job properly."

Quote:"CASA's director of air safety John McCormick said he didn't consider either of them relevant to the cause of the accident, which he says was entirely the fault of the captain, but would have been made available to the ATSB if it has asked for them."
