I was flying Bne-Wlg returns in 1999 in a 737. Why is QANTAS painted on the side? Because ASIC has no legal jurisdiction over a NZ registered aircraft. It is blatant false and misleading advertising under the Trade Practices Act however ASIC's response to my correspondence 6 years ago was that it would have to be taken up via the Kiwi counterpart to ASIC as it was they who were responsible. Went to AIPA guess what? Zip. Imagine if we started up an aussie Air New Zealand with a Koru painted on the tail and flown by Aussies with thuck aussie accents.
