All you aviators will have observed of course that due to the use, mis-use, non -use, wrong frequency, etc, of radio by dopey and unsafe Australian pilots, Australia is littered with aircraft wreckage from the daily occurrence of mid air collisions due to the above.
5K $ or so for a 'not listening ' pffft ! chicken feed.
All this bureaucratic chicannery is all about keeping the Fort fully? occupied. What can we think up this week to fcuk the industry....even further.
Another recent CAsA stupidity was a claim they were going to get tough on pax the smoke in toilets...fine increased to $800. ! By the time the paperwork is process, the prep even found...and having probably left the country, can wave goodbye with 2 fingers to the penalty which is unrecoverable.
And the penalty now for forgetting to fill some lines in yr log book..10K plus !!
Yes folks the loonies really are in charge of the Furzer st asylum.
