Emu787,
Great rant ... loved it. But the ASIC requirement is demanded by DOTARs, not CASA. CASA just became an issuing authority. Pointless then bringing it up at the CASA inquiry.
Submissions to the white paper, which I think are now closed, are where the ASIC thing should have been bought up. It was severely criticised in the JCPA inquiry into airport security by just about everyone involved, but strangely was left out of any recommendations.
Well, maybe not so strange.
