if and when something does happen (smoking hole in the ground) you watch the airline's, ASA and CASA blame covid, or use the magic words "pilot / controller error." They'll get off free while at we are left to pick up the pieces... (Assuming we are not part of that smoking hole in the ground).
Darwin ATC is provided by the RAAF, who through complete ineptitude somehow don’t have enough controllers there even though they have the luxury of posting whoever they want whenever they wan’t.
If the only 24/7 ATC unit in the Air Force can’t be prioritised one would have to wonder where all the spare bodies have been sent.
