Full auto won’t happen for a long time. They seem to be pushing for remote towers by video pretty hard. Then they can just switch on Coffs, Launceston, Alice etc whenever they have a RPT. Which will work great until a controller is at their fourth airport for the day and stuffs up.
At least they’ll have jobs for plenty of Change Coordinators in the mean time.
