HA! That absolutely makes my sides ache
. Ludicrously backward senseless regulations huh? I wonder why it is that AUSTRALIAN ports also have the LOWEST incident record in the world (yes, look it up) and that QANTAS (the Australian airline) and it's subsidaries also have the lowest incident record in the history of aviation of any airline still currently operating? Hmmn, "senseless regulations" huh? I think the records and lack of safety related incidents speak for themselves. Perhaps if more overseas ports took on board Australia's "senseless backward regulations" they would have less incidents too
