## Resource

A Senate committee is demanding a fresh review of the investigation into the deadly MRH-90 Taipan helicopter crash that killed four soldiers last July, citing serious concerns over a potential cover-up and conflict of interest in the original safety report. Testimonies from former test pilots allege fabricated evidence and compromised independence, while grieving families describe dismissive and insensitive treatment by Defence officials. Despite senior military denials, the committee now calls for an audit of army aviation’s safety protocols — especially around pilot fatigue — and urges sweeping reforms to prevent future tragedies.
