Are ALL ambulance officers, firepeople, and policemen/women going to be issued ASIC's as well ? and what if the local copper is caught NOT wearing an ASIC whilst investigating agas theft ? is he/she going to issue themselves a $550 fine ?
Is the Fire chief at, say, Dubbo going to ask the pilot if he/she could land in a field away from the terminal ? or maybe " can you please crash near the fence" ?
Apache, to my understanding any Ambulance, Fire brigade and police are exempt from having a ASIC as long as access to the restricted "airside area" is for emergencies only . And also to my understanding is that most major airports are federal land, so the federal police are in charge of these areas not the local state police , but state police can be called in if they need them.
Correct me if i am wrong guys
