Interesting tosee how this new annoucement
doesn't comply with their own
RAAus Privacy Policy.

4.2.1. Aircraft and Membership Personal information is collected by RAAus for the primary purpose of Membership requirements, services and benefits to Members relating to their Aircraft and Membership needs. We also collect personal information to assist in identifying ways in which we can serve you better, such as providing our products and services to you more effectively, and to assist our internal administration and operations including accounting, risk management, record keeping, archiving, systems development and testing, and staff training. Some of the information we collect is for the purpose of improving our interaction with Members and their involvement with RAAus. We collect personal information about third parties, including family members, for purposes of contacting in the case of an emergency for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Failure to provide the information sought by RAAus for the purposes detailed may not enable the company to complete the membership process or any specific service requested.
Then you go to Section 5 about their disclosure of this information:

RAAus will only use and/or disclose personal information for the purposes for which it was collected (the primary purpose), unless an individual has consented to another use [APP 6]. There are certain limited circumstances in which RAAus may use or disclose information for a different purpose (a secondary purpose) without consent, such as where the secondary purpose is:
• directly related to the primary purpose for which the information was collected
• required or authorised under an Australian law or has been ordered by a court or tribunal
• necessary to lessen or prevent an immediate and serious threat to the life, safety of air navigation, health or safety of any individual, or public health or safety
• to facilitate the investigation of an occurrence involving an RAAus registered aircraft and the death or serious injury of one or more persons
• a permitted general situation or health situation, as defined by the Privacy Act; or
• an enforcement related activity and the use or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary.
If RAAus uses or discloses personal information for a purpose other than what it was originally collected for, RAAus will keep a written notice of that use or disclosure as required by the APPs
I do not mind paying my fair share of landing fees - but when you look at the local airport charging
$275.00 for an hour of circuits (No, I didn't misplace the decimal point) for my <600Kg RAAus-registered RV, then I'm going to have an issue with RAAus passing on my details. I note the entry for Warnervale Airport on AvData's page does not align to what Council says they will charge, either...AvData says $7.50 exc-GST
(per landing, so still
$82.50/hour), but
Council says $27.50 and the local
aero club (who operate the field for Council) say it is $15.50 per landing...
