Here in Australia, it appears that our fearless leaders have lost their nerve on the introduction of E and G airspace. We have been informed that we have a duty of care in this airspace to provide traffic alerts to any targets we think may be on a collision course, regardless of the fact that they are VFR, not requesting a service, not radar identified and not in communication with the controller.

I am at a loss. If they are saying that see and avoid for VFR in this class of airspace is unacceptably risky they need to reclassify the airspace. Instead, they have decided to keep the airspace classifications and dump the responsibility on the individual ATC working the position if a mishap occurs.

Armageddon out of here!!!
