Here's a suggestion for the asinine authors of this AIP SUP. As they know, holders of ASIC cards go through very thourough security checks. Why not make pilots with ASICs, phone in their request, read out their details, file a flight plan and then allow the flight to proceed. Grounding the GA fleet by that Kremlin era AIP SUP, would be like restricting the movements of every soldier in the army for the loss of those 6 rocket launchers.
ADF staff, believe me, what you are enforcing is dumb and an over-reaction. I am a tax paying civilian with an aircraft and I am telling you that for a fact. Just like building airport fences at Thargomindah, Oodnadatta, Narrabri and Birdsville. It might make you feel good but it is dumb and costly.
