WTF is an international airport that takes the occasional heavy diversion running on a CTAF, sorry TIBA?

Yeah the chance of a 777 from China/ Thailand/ insert country where CTAFs are not common making an emergency diversion into Darwin are low but.

Melbourne control tell aircraft to contact TIBA are or whatever the fook it’s called on 1XX.XX… Err what’s that? Ahh ok that’s it. Careflight have a departure and arrival, the late night Pornstar running late oh and farmer Joe has decided to depart, yeah lots of holes required but…..

Shouldn’t tower be subsidised? Or as it’s RAAF? Ok I’m just a little confused.
