AAAh Mr Fieldmouse'....
'Tis only just a wee bit over 12/12/1991 when 'Uncle Dick' started the move to get rid of 'Good Ole Flight Service'.....
Because HE didn't like it and saw it as a 'Duplication' of services.
Never mind that it took until 15.12.2000 to actually accomplish the task - when 'Uncle Dick' was Looong Goone!!
19 years for what???
And now, you ask for 'infrastructure based on 'NEED'???
WE USED TO HAVE THAT!!!
An 'Australian' system developed for Australia...by evolution!
And NEED!
NO MORE!! The beancounters are well and truly into it now...and is that an IMPROVEMENT???
NOT
LIKELY!!!
Has your 'Safety Been Enhanced and Has It Cost You Less'..???
NOPE!!
AND MOI EITHER!!!
p.s.
Thanks again for the 'redundo' Uncle Dick'.......
