So, you have the brightest and the best, training the brightest and the best and wanting the best training area which they currently have - sea, Bombing and gunnery ranges with all the inherent safety rules required, low flying, Army, Navy assets for joint training and probably 100 other things I have't thought of. As such you are up against far more than just ATC procedures. Also, the CAS is one of them and always will be.

How do you think the USAF, USN, US Marines or the US Army get on, without that long list of requirements ---- of course, they have the same considerations, but exclusion of civil traffic from all their airspace, just to make their life easier, isn't an option.
For the RAAF it is the easy option, let's say it the "Australia military culture" to disrespect and disregard the entirely reasonable needs of civil aviation.
Indeed, civil aviation is entitled to be able to operate with the same freedom that is enjoyed in the US.
Unfortunately, and wrongly, Australian law is on the side of the military, unlike US legislation, which, broadly speaking, requires the joint civil/military control of US national airspace, for the use and benefit of all potential users of the airspace.
Tootle pip!!

PS: CWO Geoff, ignore the turkey who calls him her, or itself yr right, in posts on some threads he/she/it writes reasonably normal English, the idiot savant without the savant is an affectation.
