I respect currawong’s opinion. I just disagree with it
My perception is that currawong puts greater faith than I do in the efficacy of these bureaucratic processes to achieve the outcomes they claim. My (educated) guess is that I have a deeper insight into these processes than does currawong.
But it’s likely currawong’s opinion will continue to prevail. These processes provide busy-work and comfort for many.
Meanwhile, I’m guessing I become a criminal next week. ASIC expires. As I haven’t been asked to produce an ASIC by anyone in authority at a security controlled aerodrome for years, I’m guessing that any failure to have a current ASIC will go undetected. Which kinda makes my point.
