The ADSB debate in question was whether or not the gullible believed in "tooth fairy" promises of free installation. Not "commo" misinformation about junor NAStronauts?
I don't recall anybody being against the principle as an evolutionary progression from mode C transponder where it is currently required.
it also provides an ultra low cost ATS tool
Which it is.... For Airservices. But only if the poor bloody aircraft owner pays for ADSB OUT. (refer "tooth fairy promises before going off about how it could have been).
I would like to see TXPDR's [including ES ADS-B OUT] wired in to all aircraft with an air switch, and a pullable circuit breaker only [in case of malfunction or fire] to minimise switch on omission. By doing so, whilst masters are on, the ADS-B is outputting the required ground signals, and when at flying speed, outputting required airborne signals.
And we should all have a microchip implant in our brain so we can be charged $$$$'s for the privelege of someone "watching" someone who doesn't want to be watched in the GAFA.
need corpses before they act
Probably is why there is no ATC at Goodooga. Obviously a breakdown in duty of care responsibilities by your reckoning.
