So I'd boil all that waffle down to a few dot points:
1. E airspace is safe, provided that E (and not C) is the appropriate sort of airspace for the traffic traversing it.
2. Transponders/radar is not required, but will mean less headlines (Not supported in fact so far.)
2. Dick has nailed a lot of stuff from all the previous plans he has implemented and then fought against into this schemozzle.
3. Dick is willing to kill an entire system to preserve any detail of his current whim.
4. Any post from VOR that doesn't seem to match something said before by VOR is the fault of naughty rogue pixies. It would not be reasonable to say that, like any other group in Australian aviation, if you get three VOR members with something to say A will say one thing, B will take a contrary view and C will talk long & loud and try to convince everybody that his view is a consensus of A & B (while really being another contrary view.)
