"I want to know what the money spent at places like Bourke and Birdsville actually does to help security. What I have seen at these airports is a sham. It is a complete waste and does nothing other than to let the public live under a delusion that something effectively is being done."

If you think Bourke and Birdsville are a sham - don't go to Cooktown!
They have a security fence and a secure gate (?) with a keypad lock - but if you care to walk 10 m to the left of the security gate you can just jump over a waist high fence (as I did!).
