i can see it now, 15 mins out of Bankstown, last fuel check calculation, oh SH**, im going to land using 2 ltrs into my reserve! MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY! no, im not in imminent danger tower, just going to land with 43 mins reserve, thats all, yes, i know i called mayday, im 15 mins out.. CASA greet you on the ground, fuel measurement taken, oh, look, i stuffed up a calculation, i actually have 48 mins of fuel left, sorry about that..

or, as someone else quoted from another forum,
"Extra 300 XYZ taxying for airdisplay overhead, mayday mayday mayday fuel, lining up runway 23"

Thinking about it a bit more, maybe some form of industrial action in the form of work to rule, such as my example, maybe this kind of thing needs to happen regularly to make casa realise the error of their ways..
