Agree totally, CASA need to address this issue ASAP. Putting cabin crew in flight decks is only a knee jerk reaction and does not address the underlying problem.
It's now time that the industry recognises that pilots are paid cr@p and improves pay and conditions significantly, increase airfares by 20% and who cares something needs to be done urgently. How in gods name you guys and girls living in capital cities with families can afford to live beats the hell out of me, it's an absolute disgrace that we as professional pilots have to endure this rubbish in our own country, not that I'm saying that things are much better in a lot of other countries.
