    Yeah, I saw it and agree with your comments that the guidelines may not have been clear enough.

    I suppose the point is they aren't prosecuting themselves are they? They are the other party involved.

    yeah that is an interesting point, who would prosecute them (the groups they are prosecuting, the families of the victims?) I assume they can be prosecuted?

    I'd contribute to a crowdfunded prosecution to see if they did all that they should have under the law 🙂

    @taniwharugby Great. This is exactly what I was getting at.

    Worksafe can prosecute, or even persecute, the pilots but they need to be looked at too.

    Government enquiries into government entities isn't perfect but it is better than nothing.

    @Snowy is interesting, I got an email last night (re Legal Liability around H & S, expect probably written past few days or weekish) so assume this review has only happened recently or hadn't been announced a review was imminent.

    There has been no inquiry or investigation into WorkSafe’s role as a regulator of Adventure Activities or whether it met its duties under HASWA. At least one of the defendants had its Safety Management System audited (and passed) by a WorkSafe approved Adventure Activities auditor. This information was publicly available on WorkSafe’s Register of adventure activity operators at the time of the eruption.
