Sorry, Creamy. I put the apostrophe down to the red wine I had with dinner earlier. I will remove it for you and correct the appalling grammer.

But seriously, I think the model to be followed is important. The regulatory approach has been the traditional model in Australian aviation and I no longer think it is effective or can be effective. The number of cases (criminal, not necessarily aviation) before the courts that fail because of loopholes in the relevant legislation is ever increasing. As a former practicing lawyer doing mostly criminal work for defendants complicated legislation was a gift.

The basic approach referred to by gaunty makes it far easier to get a conviction and it would be easier to extend liability further up the line.
