 We might just get a quick scan and check if you don't mind. Okay, I'm Chief Superintendent Mike Keating, Queensland Police Service. So, Mike, what's latest with the investigation? Well, the process in terms of the response is well underway. The disaster victim identification teams are on site. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau are on site and other police support services are there. So that mechanism's underway and it'll just take some time to get through that. Considering how high impact the crash was, and you've had to call in the disaster victim identification squad, I mean, they must have a lot of experience dealing with these kinds of identification issues, I guess? That's right. The Queensland Police Service DVI squad are very experienced. That's an unfortunate reality, but it's a capability we have and we're very confident of their ability to get us through this situation. How hard is it to identify the victims in this case? Well, it's a complex forensic procedure. I don't know the specifications and details of it. I'm not an expert in it, but it is detailed. It's time-consuming and you need qualified, trained, expert people to do it. Well, these victims stay on scene until they have been identified? As the process unfolds, the deceased will be taken to the John Tong Centre in Brisbane and there will be forensic procedures completed there which will finalise victim identification. How long do you expect that to take? Well, it's all dependent on the circumstance of each individual case. The final identification won't be completed, I wouldn't think, for a few days. Certainly the retrieval and recovery will take a little while and then the forensic procedures can't be rushed, they're scientific procedures, so it will take a little while yet. So obviously families have to be aware that having their loved ones returned to them might take some time? That's right. They've been spoken to, they've been briefed on what happens now and as part of disaster victim identification, they will actually be an important part of that. So they'll be well aware of what will occur. Have any relatives asked to visit the scene? No relatives have visited the scene to date. That wouldn't be an easy thing to achieve at the moment. That may happen in the next few days, so that'll be just something we'll deal with as the circumstance arrives. We've not been too graphic, Mike. Can you explain to us what the investigators are doing up there? Well, I haven't been to the scene, so I don't actually have a clear picture of what's occurred there myself and I haven't seen any images either, but we do have a situation where there's been a high-speed impact with the ground, so there's damage to the general area, trees, etc. There's a fuselage of the aircraft which is significantly damaged, catastrophically damaged, and there will be some, you know, impact injuries to the people that were in that aircraft. Do you have any information about whether you'll be able to retrieve a black box from the aircraft? This isn't an aircraft that has that technology, as I understand it, but that technical aspect will be managed by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau and they will take as exhibits items of interest to them and complete their analysis of that material. What in our high speed we're talking here? No, again, that's part of the investigation that they will complete. That's their technical role and we'll be reliant on them to give us that information. So their role really is to look into the proceeding events that led to this crash or to try and work that part out? They conducted safety investigation, which means they look at the flight of the aircraft and what's occurred on the aircraft. If there are recommendations that come out of that, they will issue those through the Transport Department and they provide a report which is in harmony with our report that goes to the coroner. Considering the condition of the evidence that you guys have to work with, is there any way of saying how long this investigation could take, trying to sort of work out what happened in the minutes leading up to that crash or is it sort of, it takes however long it takes? Experience would suggest that the Safety Bureau will issue an interim report within about a month and then it's likely that their final report would take nine months to 12 months to be completed. So that side of it is not quick. It will take its time and you don't want to rush it. It's an important document, it's an important process. What is the police's role kind of from here in when the Transport Bureau is kind of taking over the investigation? Are you there in a support capacity? We do an investigation which we provide to the coroner in relation to the overall circumstances of the incident and clearly we're responsible for disaster victim identification and a range of other issues. So our investigation runs in partnership and cooperatively with the Australian Transport Safety Bureau and we both report to the coroner and the coroner will make a final determination. How is everyone involved in the investigation holding up? Are they found it distressing to deal with? Well it's a difficult environment to work in. It's a difficult role and task to perform. Our people are well supported, they're well trained and we'll support them over time and other people involved as well. Can you tell us how many people are on the ground? There's about 20 people at the scene at the moment. Those numbers will fluctuate over the next few days as different technical people are required. So it's quite a busy site up there at the moment and we'll be for a few days. And obviously the control base was set up yesterday. Did you have people working throughout the night? We had officers guarding the scene overnight. They came out this morning and there will be an additional guard on the scene for as long as it is required overnight. Have you had to deal with a case like this on the Sunshine Coast before? I'm not from the Sunshine Coast. I've only been here for a week. But I personally had a significant role with the Lockhart River Air Crash. I do have a lot of experience with these things. The health and safety aspect as well. Can you run us through what's going on there? Obviously you're dealing with an environment where there's significant damage. There's jagged items. So we need to be cautious in terms of potential injury to our staff. And there's also equipment that's used to build and maintain aircraft which can pose some hazards as well. So we just got to be cautious there. Can you explain the importance of the fireworks that are out there? And they're supplying some advice for you? Well, we'll be seeking support. We have sought support from the Queensland Fire and Rescue Authority and also the Queensland Ambulance Service to ensure safety issues are appropriately addressed. And that's the role that they're there for. At what point do you decide whether that process of bringing the bodies up by the ground is appropriate or whether you might fall in a trial? Well, that'll be determined by the forward commanders and also the disaster victim identification team. They will make some assessments. They're experts at this, they'll know what to do. If they need some resources, we'll find them. Are you looking at today taking the bodies out? Look, I think the process to recover the deceased will take a few days. You can't rush it. Obviously it will be done as quickly and as efficiently as we can, but I wouldn't expect it would be completed today at all. Have you been in contact with the family? How are they, families? I met some of the family people involved on Tuesday or Wednesday and obviously they're very upset. We have family liaison people working with them and that's an important part of the victim identification process over the next few days to keep them informed and keep them engaged on that process. Do you have anything to say about the whole operation of finding this aircraft and how everyone's kind of reacted to it? Well, this is a very complex investigation and search. I've never seen a search of this nature involving so many aircraft at one time. It's an enormous commitment from the Australian Search Agency. So we're grateful for their support. It's a significant task now for the Queensland Police Service and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau. We're all resourced for that. We're all trained and prepared for that. You just have to deal with the circumstances as they arise and I'm very grateful for the individual work that both police and other staff have done. It's tremendous work. Can you've received cooperation from the property owners? Yes, they've been very supportive. They're well known to local police up there and they've been informed and briefed on what will occur and they're being very supportive. Can you comment at all? I understand there was an airstrip of some nature relatively close to the crash site. As I say, I haven't been to the site personally. I've seen some maps of these old airstrips in the site. Anybody suggesting that the aircraft was making for one of those airstrips would be speculating on something? The Air Transport Safety Bureau investigation will examine that issue and they would quite rightly be the people who would make some determination on that in due course. Okay, thank you.
