Hipkins gives the vibes of a politician that can't pick a drink without a focus group

Articles like this indicate there was a sharp loss of altitude in an A320 which was what triggered the recall
I'm genuinely curious how this happened

Really.. 'too much ,too fast' was that really the last labour government's problem.

Are there any aviation enthusiasts that can explain why there weren't better safeguards against the A320 suddenly pitching down?
The way it's described in the MSM (so maybe there's more to it) is that the elevation data got corrupted and so the software suddenly pitched the plane down
