Ms McTaggart says she’s received a large volume of evidence including witness affidavits, forensic reports and video and photographic material.
She’s still waiting for a report from Work Safe Tasmania and a weather expert.
The Work Safe report could be the basis for charges to be laid if the Director of Public Prosecutions proceeds in that direction.
