Folks,
What Cynical has hit on is that, by and large, Australian domestic "professional" pilots do not communicate, they perform radio procedures, largely for the purpose of having a "tick in the box".
This is largely as a result of Australian "training", I often hear the expression "radio work" --- with nary a glimmer of understanding that it should be about communications. Compliance is all, whether other airspace users understand or not doesn't seem to matter.
Apart from that, Australians on the radio ( and generally) talk far too fast and do not enunciate clearly --- running words together, as already mentioned.
Tootle pip!!
