I still can't understand why Karen Casey was legally a passenger on the flight? A cabin attendant is crew,a paramedic in a wheeled ambulance is staff, a paramedic in a helicopter is crew. I have seen cargo masters and horse handlers on a crew declaration, so why is an on duty flight nurse on a Westwind, a passenger? If Karen was legally a passenger under current law,then the law needs sorting out urgently.
I also don't understand the reference to the Montreal Convention and Domestic changes in 2012? The aircraft was coming from an international ,non Australian departure point and everyone on board would have to make a Customs declaration.It certainly wasn't Domestic as far as Customs is concerned.
