A combination of mechanical issues and deficiencies in crew and pilot reactions were to blame for the Lion Air 737 MAX crash in Indonesia last year, the victims' families are told.

During the fatal night-time flight, a"stick shaker" was vibrating the captain's controls, warning of a stall throughout most of the 13 minutes aloft, based on what investigators believe to have been erroneous data on its angle to the oncoming air.

American aircraft manufacturer Boeing is shedding billions monthly as a result of a global ban on its top-selling jet, the 737 MAX — but how much more blowback can the company take? Boeing was widely criticised for placing emphasis on piloting and maintenance issues in its public response to an earlier report, sparking a furious dispute with Lion Air's cofounder, Rusdi Kirana., and apologised for lives lost without admitting formal responsibility.

everybody knows that the fault and cause is purely in the design of boeing's airliner. this rubbish that the pilots were 'partly to blame' is boeing avoiding massive payouts. and it's disgusting. auspol

Rosie Batty wants Pauline Hanson replaced on family law inquiryLeading anti-family violence campaigner Rosie Batty wants Senator Pauline Hanson to step aside from an inquiry into Australia's family law system. I want the inquiry to step aside, I want it to stop. It validates a false narrative of male parents as the only victims, erases the reforms that have already been established as the way forward to centre children, acknowledgement of FDV, safety etc. Rosie Batty is preaching a 'believe all women' lie that is just not the reality of the family court where women (and men) do lie about their ex-partners to try and gain custody of children. This needs to be investigated during the inquiry by Hanson. elliemail Take note Pauline, you are not wanted.

Rosie Batty, lawyers push for family law reform as fresh inquiry loomsFamily violence campaigner Rosie Batty and women’s legal services from across Australia have joined forces to call for reform of the family law system. First they would have to admit that intimate partner abuse other than physical assault is a real thing. Accepting that sometimes victims don't call the police, and absence of a police report does not mean the physical assault didn't happen either, would also be beneficial. No there should be a totally independent Domestic Violence law court ... family law is not knowledgeable about this subject but lawyers pretend they are ... I should know I was duped by one pretending to know domesticviolence law auspol Not all abuse is physical. Ladies
