I am afraid approval by other countries does come into it that is why some countries are banned from USA airspace and some airlines often all airlines from a particular country are banned from European airspace.
You seem to be suggesting that any country can do what it likes can choose to notify or not, doesn't matter either way as you have the right to do what the fcuk you like where you like. That is simply not the case. You go there with their approval of your standards.
Have you read this this just about somes it up:

As you will note from the AIP Sup. available from Airservices,(86?? pages of differences) Australia is in a class of it's own, when it comes to re-inventing the wheel, and winding up with one with corners.
This goes to further prove that Australia is a world leader in aviation legislation (all criminal law) by weight, volume or word count, take your pick.
These differences to ICAO are a real problem, across a number of fields, but especially aviation, Australia is being rendered uncompetitive by bureaucratic regulatory overload, and this is even before the Greens get the balance of power in the Senate.
Don't kid yourselves this is all justified by better air safety outcomes in Australia, Australia rates badly compared to the US, which leads by a country mile ---- go look at all the statistics, not "carefully" selected and selective statistics.
I am guessing:
That you work for CASA.
By your aggressive tone that developement of your emotional intelligence may have terminated at about 14 years old.
That you see all of life including debate and conversation as a competitive sport with winners and losers.
That you are a classic 'In Ansett, in TAA!' 'Your SOPs are all wrong mate, you wanna do it this way' Aussie that the world of aviation loves so much.
G'day,
