“K”. The difference being that with Lockhart, the committee may have suspected the corruption of the ATSB, the Norfolk committee witnessed and proved that corruption – and were powerless to do anything about it.
As much as I dislike correcting my learned colleague, the sentence should read - “And failed, despite the evidence before them to do anything, whatsover about ‘it’"– to be concise. The impetus from Pel-Air was lost, frittered away. All far too busy to understand what had been done to them. There is only one consistent factor, only one thread binding the weave. Millions wasted getting ‘near’ the destination, but for some strange reason, there is no gas in the tank to travel the last miles and actually arrive at the inescapable conclusion.
Political considerations aside – any blood spilled from now on, must be on the Senators hands. The same hands that were washed after they allowed, with their full knowledge, the travesty of not only Pel-Air, but of other, serious anomalies brought to 'their' collective attention; those which have been not only allowed to persist, but be encouraged by the complete lack of 'finalisation' action. Not a matter of conscience then, but one of self interest, satisfaction and self preservation. No? Well, it certainly looks that way - from the back of the room.
The evidence is (and remains) overwhelming; the case against proven – beyond any reasonable doubt. There is a complete lack of industry confidence in CASA and the ATSB. Must we now have the same lack of confidence in the Senate committee?
I ask this as a serious question; very serious indeed.
