That's odd, as I hear of the  Australian Transport Safety Bureau
in a lot of foreign newspapers, such as the Economist,
the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times.  And the ATSB
regularly appears in the Australian press as well.  For example,
here's one of the many articles in today's papers that
mentions the ATSB:

Matt O'Sullivan, New problem hits Qantas A380 engine.
Sydney Morning Herald, 2011-02-18.
<http://www.smh.com.au/travel/travel-news/new-problem-hits-qantas-a380-engine-20110218-1az5z.html>

Anyway, this thread is starting to veer from the main topic.
Perhaps some Australians could chime in?
