I disagree. If (sorry probably more ‘when’) we have an accident. They still won’t do anything.
Of course not. Because it'll be the pilots fault - like those two in Darwin the other month when they used the same, but reciprocal runways and went nose to nose... And remember - there's no separation standard in Class G, so everything's completely normal right up until you swap paint.
Why do we think they implement TIBA rather than simply closing the airspace? KPI's and because it'll be
our fault
when something happens. It won't be theirs, even
if they didn't have the staff to cover the roster.
