And this from CASA's website
"After 31 December 2005, if you want to operate an aircraft in Australian Territory and you need to hold a licence issued by CASA you must have a current aviation security check status. That means you must undergo an aviation security status check or hold a current ASIC".
It's not hard to tell what's going to happen next.
It'll be backflips at 20 paces by the government or else some pilots won't be able to work after Dec 31. All this so the government can make sure the hot dog vendors at the Commonwealth Games aren't a security risk.
