Looking for truth or looking for blame and lawyer fees - Flood dam operations to go to court

Wivenhoe victims deserve their day in court | The Australian

Headley Thomas has noted the courts are needed to sort out how the Dam should have been operated.  I would have thought the best way to get to the truth would have been to allow the Dam manual and the event hydrology to be modeled by professionals outside of the State's jurisdiction and allow their modelling and reporting to answer all of the difficult questions that have arisen.

A court room battle is about finding a party at fault to apportion blame, for the purpose of seeking compensation and paying lawyer fees.  The money would be best spent with the use of independent engineers from Universities in N.S.W or Victoria to seek the truth without fear or favor or "no win no fee" foreshadowing the success of their efforts.
