Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee has downloaded information from the “black box” flight data recorder recovered on Tuesday. “ all in good condition and we’re now examining the data,” Committee head Soerjanto Tjahjono said in a statement.

They don’t believe there was any mid-air explosion and think the plane was probably intact when it hit the water — citing a relatively small area where the wreckage was scattered.Relatives of Fadly Satrianto, a co-pilot with Nam Air and a passenger on-board Sriwijaya Air flight SJ182.

Turning our back on history means we're 'doomed to repeat it': Bernardi | Sky News AustraliaWe cannot afford to turn our back on the lessons of history, lest we be “doomed to repeat it”, says Sky News Host Cory Bernardi.\n\n'The world is turning a blind eye to what’s going on in China. They are doing so mostly for financial reasons. It seems nothing soothes righteous anger like a bucket load of communist party money,' he said.\n\n'As our world enters a more authoritarian phase of governance, it is only prudent to recall how previous authoritarian moves have ended.\n\n'You see, we've been here many times before, where a political movement thinks the ends justify the means, where ruling by the elites is characterised by cancel culture, restrictions on liberty, polarisation, division, the exclusion of certain individuals, and even death.\n\n'The results have often been bloody and catastrophic. More often than not, these atrocities are led by political ideology and a lust for personal power.'\n\nMr Bernardi said prime examples of this included the rise of National Socialism in Nazi Germany where six million Jews were systematically exterminated.\n\nBefore that, beginning in 1922, the communist regime of Joseph Stalin murdered an estimated 15 million by famine, purges, labour camps, and massacres.\n\n'Stalin's atrocities have been largely forgotten as the unreconstructed communists among us seek to sanitise their ideology,' Mr Bernardi said. \n\n'I'd hazard a guess that few school children today know the facts surrounding the Soviet era, or Nazi Germany, the Young Turks, or the rise of the Chinese communists.\n\n'Instead, they are fed a diet rich in self-loathing where the West are the tyrants and everyone else is the victim. That's why we see history repeat. Ignorance and inaction in the face of similar circumstances.\n\n'When so many are happy to publicly pontificate about the Marxist and manufactured BLM or other manufactured and invented social constructs, they are strangely silent when it comes to suspected genocide by a world power. \n\n'The thing is, tyr

WA Opposition leader Zak Kirkup is 'not only weak but doomed' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Rowan Dean says Zak Kirkup’s early concession of the Western Australian election shows he is “not only a weak leader but a doomed leader”.\n\n“Any leader worth their salt would be rushing around, fighting the good fight to win every single last vote and convincing people that they were capable of being the leader,” he told Sky News host Peta Credlin.\n\nMr Dean said it will “never be his time” after Mr Kirkup conceded the Liberals can't win the state election in two weeks.\n\n“If you’re not prepared to fight like a winner now then you’ll never be taken seriously as a winner and you’ll always be that bloke who made such a goose of himself by declaring he’d lost the election before it even began.” \n
