..The 1700-page report demanded "major cultural change" at all levels to improve safety, after identifying systematic failures, "which are probably common to some degree across the ADF aviation community".......2.
...The abject failure to adhere to standard procedures for aircraft maintenance and quality assurance led directly to the tragedy on Nias island two years ago...3.Am I anti Aussie again?Board of Inquiry report---The Board deliberated for almost 20 months, considered evidence from more than 160 witnesses, reviewed 560 exhibits, conducted hearings over 111 days and produced approximately 10,000 pages of transcript.
Somehow, alarm bells failed to ring up the line that the sub-standard practices being followed at 817 squadron had become routine even in times of low operational tempo.
The board of inquiry report noted that "senior commanders and managers did not fully understand their responsibilities for airworthiness and there was some confusion with regard to the roles and responsibilities of the ADF airworthiness system".....
2.The obligations of friends and alliances are help each otherOriginally posted by LazerLordz:If you guys have followed his postings, you will see that he only criticises Australia and nothing else.
I'm getting highly offended at the way he chooses to illustrate Australia, be it true situation or not. Would you like someone to take potshots at a country which you have ties to?
Go and google his handle.
Why should you be offended if what is said is true. I have much tie with australia, Malaysia, as well as PRC and ROC.Originally posted by LazerLordz:If you guys have followed his postings, you will see that he only criticises Australia and nothing else.

See the thing is that Australia does have her flaws, that I will admit readily.Originally posted by sgdiehard:Why should you be offended if what is said is true. I have much tie with australia, Malaysia, as well as PRC and ROC.
Too many people ignore the negative sides of Malaysia so as not to offend our neighbour. Somebody need to be ready to highlight the plights of minority Chinese and Indians there to give a balanced picture.
In this forum, anybody who uses a big broad brush to paint China black, especially the PRC, will be greeted with loud cheers. Even if the 1.3 billion PRC Chinese are of the same kind, the other Chinese overseas cannot be all that bad. There must be somebody to present the other sides of the picture to give a complete picture.
Australia is a great country, but too many sillyporeans went there to run down Singapore. It is good to also know that there are dark sides even in Australia.
Be offended if the wrong pictures are presented. Be sensitive the next time you make assumptions about countries where you have no tie. But if the truth is said, I guess there should be no hard feelings.
Yes please, that would make a good read!Originally posted by LazerLordz:ST,
You know what's the hilarious thing? Maybe I should forward all that he says to the ADF's chief historian, who happens to be one of the Deans in the ADF's Australian Defence College.
The man's probably not worked, talked or even smelt an ADF soldier or an RAN sailor up close, and there he is, thinking he's the best authority on issues like the ADF.
That should spice things up a bit.
Exile him to Australia, he wont get to live more than 5 minutes there!Originally posted by Fingolfin_Noldor:Lionnoisy penis too small.

Exile him to Australia I say.

Prehaps if lionnoisy is so confident the ADF is a paper tiger, maybe he should join the taliban and try fighting them.Originally posted by miserable:Maybe our "respected" government should form an invasion army under Lionnoisy and takeover Aussie land.
Scarly.......Talibans oso dun want him.....evey day talk cock, sing song.....ask him set up IEP, dunno....fire Rpg,dunno...but come stories like why M14 is better than Ak 47 and how ineffectual the allies armies are .Originally posted by SingaporeTyrannosaur:Prehaps if lionnoisy is so confident the ADF is a paper tiger, maybe he should join the taliban and try fighting them.
Hey hey hey, watch it - we don't want him! Actually, that probably explains the chip on his shoulder.Originally posted by Fingolfin_Noldor:Exile him to Australia I say.
Hey Ged,Originally posted by Gedanken:Hey hey hey, watch it - we don't want him! Actually, that probably explains the chip on his shoulder.
I'm sorry, but do we see anybody else calling Australia "the great Aussie"? Hell, those of us who live here don't do that.
As for members here who don't know about lionnoisy's postings, I second LazerLord's advice. Do a search on this forum for lionnoisy and see the number of threads he's started about Australia. Review what he's posted, how he's responded (or failed to respond) to the counterpoints made by more objective members, and then decide for yourselves if he's got a hard-on for Australia-bashing.
I'd disagree, Lordz. King Cutnpaste doesn't offer any points of his own - he just picks up any and all clippings about Australia that have the slightest hint of bad news in them and gleefully plasters them all over the forum. It's indiscriminate, and the law of averages states that he'll occasionally post something that makes sense, but that's by accident rather than design. As the Yanks say, the sun's gotta shine on a dog's ass sometime.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Ged, to be fair, the deluded Lion does bring up valid points about the ADF.
Ah, a Semtex vest with Primacord trimming - it's the latest craze in Kandahar, from what I hear.Originally posted by miserable:Hey Ged,
Beware of Lionnoisy when he is in Melbourne.....the Talibans
might have a mission for him there .......ie if only he knows how to operate the suit.

Looking at his level of intellect, betting odds are that our Not-So-Smart Bomb will put it together in his motel room and then press the button to make sure it works before heading off to the nearest shopping centre.
