For what it's worth, I note that the WOFTAM Supp Estimates program for the miniscule's lapdog RRAT committee has finally been released...  

2019–20 Supplementary Budget estimates
Monday, 21 October 2019
Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development—Senator McKenzie
Tuesday, 22 October 2019
Agriculture—Senator McKenzie
Program for 21 and 22 October 2019 (PDF 47KB)

If you wanted any further evidence that the Dirty RRAT committee is running a protection racket for the Hooded Canary's aviary then note the ATCB glaring omission from the Supp Estimate proceedings - 

Kind of makes you wonder what HVH has on the miniscule? Perhaps pictures of the miniscule in a compromised position at one of Hoody's famed toga parties? Which doesn't really make sense when you consider GGGGG Mick Mack's homophobic tendencies? ref: Homophobic slurs haunt McCormack

ATSB SAFETY RECOMMENDATION

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau recommends that Angel Flight Australia
takes action to enable it to consider the safety benefits of using commercial flights
where they are available to transport its passengers.

ANGEL FLIGHT RESPONSE

Angel Flight has considered the recommendation carefully and has determined that
it maintain its current policy of giving priority to using private flights where possible
and to continue to use regular public transport flights when private flights are
cancelled or unavailable, and for transfers between capital cities.
The reasons for our decisions are:

- Angel Flight rejects the claim in the ATSB report that, for Angel Flight
passenger carrying flights, the “fatal accident rate was more than seven
times higher per flight than other private flights” as invalid.

A valid analysis addressing passenger risks would require comparison of
passenger carrying Angel Flights and other passenger carrying private
flights. Since no such data are available for other private operations, the
only reasonable comparison is between all Angel Flight operations and all
other private operations. Even then, results must be treated cautiously
because an unknown proportion of private operations involve circuit
training and short local flying whereas all Angel Flight operations involve
flights with an average sector length of 1.5 hours.

The analysis in Table B2 on page 69 shows that, when all Angel Flight
sectors are included, the fatal accident rates are 0.5 and 0.2 per 10,000
flights for Angel Flight and other private flights respectively, and the
difference is not significant. Furthermore, when all accidents are included,
the rates are 1.1 and 1.5 per 10,000 flights for Angel Flight and other
private flights respectively.

- Angel Flight rejects the claim in the ATSB report that “community service
flights conducted on behalf of Angel Flight Australia (Angel Flight) had
substantially more occurrences …… per flight than other private operations”
as invalid.

ATSB has compared Angel Flight operations, approximately 95% of which
operate to and from Class C and D airspace with other private operations
where an unknown, but undoubtedly much lower, proportion of flights are
in controlled airspace. Angel Flight has been unable to find any data that
would permit a valid comparison of similar operations for other private
flights.

The ATSB report acknowledges, in the Safety Summary, that “The types of
occurrences where flights organised by Angel Flight were statistically overrepresented
(as a rate per flight) compared to other private operations
were consistent with these operational differences.” However, the report
then immediately ignores the vastly different operating environments and
claims that the difference “indicated an elevated and different risk profile in
Angel Flight”.

Oh well back to ToRs and I note that the ATCB is still yet to acknowledge &/or update their SR (AO-2017-069-SI-01 ) to reflect the categorical rejection by Angel Flight above? Shirley 3 weeks is long enough to make this simple clerical addition? Could it be the Hooded Canary is holding off (ie obfuscating) publishing this potentially embarrassing rejection of his (very rare) SR until such time as the Safeskies (plus other gobfests in coming weeks) are all past...
