Compare our airspace with Europe,China / nth Asia and the USA etc and our controllers have to have about the easiest job for a controller in the world.
Love it, no one lives in Australia so being an ATC must be easy, never mind that that same lack of population sees a lack of resources for managing that traffic, such as radar coverage (to a certain extent less important these days ) yet we have some of the busiest airports in the Southern Hemisphere and two of the busiest routes in the world , No 2 being Sydney Melbourne and No 8 being Brisbane Sydney.
