Pay particular attention to what the Court held by a majority opinion.
Lookleft,
You should actually read what I actually write, I said there is a long history, which I find quite interesting, but the fact remains, aviation is "state's rights", and various moves, over the years, for the Commonwealth to "take over" have come to naught.
At the present day, the best the Commonwealth has is the "Dam Case", (Gordon below Franklin) that confirms the powers of treaties in the hands of the Commonwealth.
I always mention the early challenges to Commonwealth autocracy, Goya Henry was a person, whose acquaintance I would have liked to have made.
Tootle pip!!
