Oh, I don’t think anyone is blaming CASA or ATSB for ‘loosing’ or being unable to locate the aircraft.   What is hard to believe or accept is that Australia would put up a front man who was always going to be the centre of attention who had a slightly ‘tarnished’ reputation and the censure of a Senate committee dogging his heels.  It was always on the cards that Australia would end up carrying a fair chunk of blame should the aircraft not be found; so why start the race with a 10 yard handicap, when we have better qualified, more acceptable men available.  Clearly the powers that be believe that the beyond all reason approach to accident investigation is good enough for them; we just happen to mildly disagree with that notion.  That’s all…..
