In my days in ol Kununurra I witnessed some shockingly wide circuits that required airways clearances from Darwin if not Dili approach - the way to fix it is to tell them... generally via some cheap shot comment on the radio.
I would suspect people paid by the flight hour stay in the air as long as possible.
Its a wonder you didn't see the bungles done with 20' flap and 70 knots............ all the way back to the kunna's.
