We all know what you and triadic wanted.
The fact is that you didn't get it.
That fact is that you didn't get it because lots of people didn't want it.
You can call them concrete minded or whatever you like, but the outcome is the same.
Arguing with people on PPRuNe will make no difference.
If you and triadic want to advise VFR pilots to fly around with the VHF switched off, listening to music on the stereo: go for it.
Just bear in mind that it is open to other people to advise VFR pilots to use their VHF (if they have to carry one) in accordance with the current rules and the current guidance, and to help keep them and others safe.
My concern is that the tactic you're now using is detrimental to general aviation in Australia. When you say 500 people are at risk of the 30,000' death plunge, all the punters do is call for more regulation. Your solution is to cherry pick one characteristic out of a frequency and broadcast system that became cockie cage liner over a decade ago. Those nuances are lost on punters. They just want those dangerous little aircraft banned.
If you really want NAS, it's not the punters you should be scaring.
