Mate, I don't know who you work for or what your knowledge of regulations is, but here's a snippet of ours for you to digest (and they are based closely on US FARs). These regulations are l-a-w. There are significant penalties for breaching them.
Civil Aviation Regulation 224 (3)
The pilot in command shall have final authority as to the disposition of the aircraft while he or she is in command and for the maintenance of discipline by all persons on board.
People here have been trying to give you the hint. I don't know how we can make it any clearer.
