Australian aviation is just stupidly following along and being put out of business by things like this ASIC crap.
If we could get every professional (read fare carrying pilots, Qantas etc) to down tools for a few days in support of this stupidity then we might get some media attention and see what happens.
What the USA has, but I don't believe Australia has, is the Air National Guard equipped with F16s and the will and the authority to shoot down any aircraft that, when airborne, doesn't behave and could be a threat to others.
