If you're looking for Aussie ATPL Air Law, don't look further than Nathan Higgins of AFT in Maroochydore
www.aft.com.au
He IS the best in the industry, so don't waste time on any further search. He'll also advise you well on all the questions you have asked here... and more. His notes for Air Law ARE Distance-Learning notes anyway.
As for the publications, unfortunately you'll need them ALL unless you can nick them off someone (who maintains an updated lot) just for the 1-2 week preparation and for the exam day.
Otherwise you WILL need to buy them all, but I say you could manage without buying the DAPs ($$$) as there is just one question that perhaps "might" come from there... and you'll probably know the answer to that anyway. That's just a hint, but you decide.
