Having flown to many airports both in and out of Australia it seems as if we do less with the same infrastructure - ie parallel runway ops in BNE / MELs crossing runways vs overseas equivalents. I was curious why.
Us “clowns” who use ATC as a service everyday are merely trying to understand the aviation system we use as best we can.
When compared to most of the western world our overall system SEEMS inefficient, causing the frustration you see posted in these forums.
"Seems" is a casual uninformed opinion. Some folks here who are informed are telling you what's what.
The solutions to improving efficiency are not mysterious. They do however require people and infrastructure, something the smartest guys in the rooms of Australia always seems unwilling to accept. My tip is expect more of the same, accept it and enjoy the beaches and the clean air.
