Yes. You don't hear so many VFR calls on Sydney departures because I have done everything I can to advise pilots that there family or friends may be on board the Airline that is involved in a mid air because the ATC is distracted by their calls.

So if I understand right, it goes something like this:

Dick: There's a shocking problem with YSSY DEPS that may cause a horrendous accident!

Pilots who frequently use YSSY DEPS: No, there's no such problem.

Dick: That's right, but only because I, personally, have solved this problem.


That's excellent news. I'm sorry, I failed to fully comprehend the extent of your powers. Presumably you could use those powers to solve the current overall non-issue in exactly the same way, instead of taking it to court. The Federal Court's valuable time will be spared, large amounts of public money won't be spent on lawyers, and highly improbable horrendous disasters will continue to be highly improbable. A big thumbs-up from me.
