I would wait to see exactly what of the proposed changes actually make it into the regulatory change process. The wheels of motion turn very slowly in this regard. The Govt is going to be very conscious of the impact on increased security at the regional airport level. A lot in the industry agree that a network screen charge as opposed to location specific is the way to go. Good luck though getting competent screeners for outback airports that have one RPT service 3 or 4 days a week
I notice no one has raised the question of non screening of high capacity closed charter operations. There is a gaping hole if ever there was one.
On the question of inconsistencies at various screening points, that is being directly addressed through the introduction of mandatory accreditation for all current screening officers. Also The introduction of Cert 2 in Transport Security Protection to replace the Cert 2 in Security operations which is more tailored to gate watchmen and pub bouncers.
