Good thread. "Those that fail to learn from the mistakes of the past, are doomed to repeat them!"

Once again from the year we don't mention.... A foreign carrier given Australian domestic rights at the stoke of a pen. The Crew of the widebody was instructed to decend 1,500 not below the DME steps. These guys proceeded to decend below the DME steps, straight through the Camden control zone!!!

At the time the story was buzzing through aviation circles, but was pretty well buried in the wider press. Great journalistic ability/integrity then. Seems like little has changed. And the population of the day were deluded in thinking we were living in a democracy!
