Asic - the great con job and ripoff!!
Asic - The Great Con Job
AUSTRALIAN ASIC - The Big Con Job
Well, I totally agree with Transport Security, however the ASIC is one of the greatest con jobs bestowed upon the Australian Aviation Industry EVER!
Division 3.2, subsection 3.05 of the Transport Security Regulations 2005 EXEMPT and I mean EXEMPT the crew of FOREIGN AIRLINES from having an Australian issued ASIC!
NO BACKGROUND CHECKS...NO ASIO CLEARANCE...NO AFP CHECK...NO CRIMMINAL HISTORY...HA..HA..HA
They like everybody else in the Aviation World (except Australia)only have to display a COMPANY ISSUED ID CARD that costs lest than $10 and is usually valid for 5 years.
Well mateys.....these airlines (foreign) carried more than 20 million passengers IN/OUT of Australia LAST YEAR!!!!!! and in BIG PLANES and NO ASIC crap.
Write to your Federal Member of Parliament and get the Regs changed....why do we have to put up with this crap in Australia....if you are approved to operate an aeroplane in Australia then the COMPANY should be able to issue THEIR OWN ID CARD....NO MORE WANK ASIC'S....THATS THE WAY IT IS ALL OVER THE WORLD...
And I now suspect the reason behind the ASIC/AVID has nothing to do with security/terrorists etc the great con job....no, I now suspect its for the new Drug and Alcohol Regs......beware its going to be <0.02% coming your way....by the way the US is 0.04% BAC....250,000 aircraft !!!
And the ASIC system is so secure you can download the specs for making one on page 205 of the Transport Security Regs 2005 available on the DOTARS website......oh yes a very secure system !!!!!
and for the disbelievers, I am airside in the heart of Europe with my company issued ID card !!!
How about a NATIONAL NO ASIC DAY and the only aeroplanes flying will be the Foreign Airlines....what would the Minister say to the public then as he leaves Parliament House for the last time!!
