ADS-B ground stations
It is amusing to consider what would happen if Australia had significant traffic densities beyond the narrow core of the 'J curve' (which isn't that busy by world standards anyway).
It is so easy for government agencies to claim credit for safe outcomes when a credulous public doesn't call for or want evidence of a causal link between the agencies' activities and the safe outcomes. The warm inner glow from the belief that 'the government' is keeping everyone 'safe' is sufficient.
I'm genuinely surprised and happy if I get to see another aircraft within cooee during any flight. (I hasten to add that I don't fail to see other aircraft because I'm blind or only fly around in the back of nowhere).

To be fair, Australia probably does deliver the best service by a long way amongst all providers on earth. The problem falls where everyone else actually has traffic and has to prioritise making planes not hit beyond broadcasting TAF AMD on receipt and the 15 and 45

Plazbot, you need to get out more. The allocation of resources to where they should be other than arseguarding would see Australia deliver world class outcomes. The expertise is there (the troops), hampered by a severe lack of talent in leadership roles.
