I live and work overseas mate so I don't need the lecture about what you do and don't get weather wise when overseas.
In Hong Kong it is COMMON and a daily event in Summer that TS are all around the Hong Kong Airport and it is NOT mentioned in the TAF. So my "silly" point is not so silly after all.
Your point was related to Brissy (where I was raised) so that's why I mentioned the ARFOR. You CAN get them in Australia last time I checked.
