kaz3g: I wonder how a constitutional argument would go on the basis that a licence is property and the revocation of a licence by administrative means is an acquisition of property requiring s51 (xxxi) compensation on just terms?
That's an interesting point that you make kaz3g, here's what that section of the constitution reads
:
“The Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws with respect to the acquisition of property on just terms from any State or person for any purpose in respect of which the Parliament has power to make laws.”
Begs the question how much is a pilot license or an AOC worth?
