No matter how much you shake and dance – etc.
Good catch P2 and a nicely timed reminder of why there is a second version of the Pel-Air report due.
Ahem: we have. I believe, mentioned not only the MoU and associated before but also some of the second tier operatives engaged at the time.
8) We respectfully suggest that the Senate enquiry could potentially be viewed
as incomplete should the testimony of the following individuals not be heard,
examined and duly considered in regard to the current Pel Air enquiry.
Mr. John Grima. CASA
Mr. Michael White. CASA
Mr. Roger Chambers. CASA
Mr. Mike Watson. ATSB.
Mr. Joe Hattley. ATSB.
9) We believe that informed inquiry made of these officers statement and
testimony, under oath could dismiss the notions that haunt the matter; such
as:-
a) The perception that the CASA ALIU team have breached s24 of the 1988
Act, within the parallel investigation in regard to radio transmission
transcript, meteorological information and the proposed enforcement action
against the pilot.
b) The perception that the CASA ALIU team have breached the AGIS 2003
Act and the CASA investigators manual within the parallel investigation.
c) The perception that the investigation was not instigated under the protocol
and prescription set down by act of Parliament.
d) The perception that there was an accommodation reached between the
ATSB and CASA to downgrade a critical safety issue to a minor safety issue.
10) In order to disprove and allay the perceptions held by industry, all E-mails,
letters, and communication logs between CASA (Grima, White, Chambers,
Farquharson, McCormick and Anastassi); and, the ATSB (Dolan, Sangston,
Hattley and Watson) be requested and independently examined against the
record and minutes of meetings between ATSB and CASA before and after
Grima became involved.
Manning’s great opus may examine, in detail the incident, down to the last packet of peanuts; but what of the questions posed by the inquiry which remain unanswered? I can’t see how anyone can walk away from them; if we are to have honesty and integrity from our safety agencies. I can’t really see how a revised report stating that the pilot ran out of fuel is even relevant anymore. What we need to know is why was the Senate inquiry mislead about a relatively simple accident investigation and why has it cost a bloody fortune to get the report which should have been published several years ago and why has nothing; and I do mean sweet sod all, changed.
Toot - toot.
