43”, two people who know the facts have tried to tell you the truth about the powers of the QF Group Head of Security. They are totally correct in what they have said and they can’t elaborate further for legal reasons.
Take it as a fact that the Head of Security can withhold the issue of an ASIC without having to give reasons and there is no appeal process.
Because this is not fact, if you go against an ACT of law you are in breach of it, so what is being said is complete tripe. You have the right to appeal and go to the AAT, the head of security can say and write whatever he likes, but you can challenge that in court via the ACT. If they are then found to be acting outside their powers, they will be in a very bad place and QF would risk losing their powers as an issuer. Large operators such as QF are already operating on dispensations as the main issuing bodies are supposed to be airports, but large operators are delegated authority to issue ASIC for expedience and convenience.
