Of risks, red flags, ridiculous responses and a rooted system

Firstly this unpalatable response from cash cow ASA;

"The Australian Transport Safety Bureau’s online database shows more than 90 failures in the TASWAM system between its introduction in mid-2010 and May 2013. Although no failures appear since then, Airservices Australia suggested yesterday this was likely to be because of an administrative problem and that more failures were likely to be occurring".

So, we have untold amounts of safety occurrences for 3 years, unmitigated. Then all of a sudden the reporting just stops!! Magic?? Then they tell us 'well the incidents are probably still occurring'!!! Are these people serious??? This is an absolute disgrace and an obvious case of burying an issue.
So what are CAsA doing? Why haven't they picked this up during an audit of ASA? Why does an operator get smashed for covering up safety issues yet the Regulator and it's 'client' ASA can ignore/bury/circumvent safety on a whim? This is a crock of pooh.

And this;

"He called on Airservices to say whether the reports had ceased in May 2013 because management had directed air traffic controllers to stop lodging the paperwork.
Airservices spokesman Rob Walker denied this, suggesting failures still were reported but inexplicably did not appear online".

Read the above in bold. What an absolute load of shite. They may as well say 'the dog ate the reports from 2013 onwards, so sorry'! Well one thing is for sure, the Senators won't be fooled by such infantile make-believe pony pooh.  

Please Mr ICAO and Mr FAA, come back and audit our Australian nupties. As Derryn Hinch would say 'SHAME SHAME SHAME'.  

Tick tock Miniscule, your minions and mandarins are really showing themselves and you up for how competent you really.....aren't!!
