Oh dear Blogsie,
you sound just like that regional captain that "Instructed" me to hold East of the field until he had departed on an absolute CAVOK day, then got all snarky because I told him I was just entering the holding pattern overhead before conducting a practice NDB approach. Mate with due respect RPT do not own the skies over Australia, (the RAAF does).
Maybe a sabbatical to the USA to see how airspace is supposed to work might enlighten you. An afternoon doing circuits at Teterborough at half past four on a Friday afternoon should convince you.
