The money CASA spends on safety promotion activities is chicken feed compared to the hundreds of millions wasted on the regulatory 'reform' bugger's muddle. In fact, that wasted money could have funded IFR ratings for each and every Australian pilots licence holder. But none of that means CASA has the choice of diverting any of that money to setting up and maintaining webcams at aerodromes (or paying for pilots' IFR ratings). Maintaining webcams at aerodromes is not CASA's function.

Another fact that you'll never accept, no matter how many times you're told it, is that money 'saved' in one area of aviation is NOT then 'spent' in another area of aviation. If, for example, a government were to shut down the regulatory reform bugger's muddle, the millions saved would NOT be spent in some other area of aviation. It would be spent wherever it was politically expedient to spend it, or not spent on anything else at all. And there would be ZERO reduction in the costs of interacting with the regulator and operating aircraft, and ZERO impact on safety.
