Capn Bloggs;
1) correct, up to your expectations.
2) If they have a radio and transponder why not?
3) Experience? What makes you think they are all rag and bone cowboys? Most of my contempories have thousands of hours. Some of the modern RAA mob have "plastic fantastics" that make your FAR 23 "tin" aeroplanes from America look pale. I have 45 years experience, I fly a 75HP "tin" aeroplane that can maintain 2 miles per minute and I certainly don't want my wife (yes Alice it's a 2 seater), to come to grief at my hands.
4) Re Alice. After Tower after hours if it goes to G, why can't they fly through?
OK, I am not up with the RA Aus situation
Perhaps you should. It may either frighten you or give you an appreciation of what goes on around you.
Like I said. If they, and the low end GA are ignored, they may not bother to speak up again and so "you" perpetuate the problem.
