I wonder if this is one of the reasons that we have tower controllers in Australia with medical problems.
That's drawing a long bow, isn't it Dick?
Therefore, are you saying that the CASA DAME's are not doing their job either?
Maybe workload is the only factor in this. Maybe the tower you quote is far too bust to even be a class d tower (think Cairns or even cooly before they went to C) and so have no spare capacity to handle more aircraft, but towers like LT and HB and AY do have that capacity....
Each place is different Dick.
