GPS can be used for stand alone approaches = why not for GPS arrivals?
They already are, they may have made sense when CSIRO invented the Australian DME, and maybe made some sense until appropriate RNAV approaches could be developed, and the technology matured.
In the case of albury they clearly need some more RNAV approaches.
