I'd believe it.
Not Tamworth, but in a previous life, I was training as a Herc loadmaster and we flew into Hobart with apair of J's. The next day, full uniform, all our kit, we were denied access to the two Herc's parked on the tarmac as we didn't have an ASIC, or whatever it was the security muppet wanted to see.
A short walk to the QF gate, a quick explanation and check of our ID's and we were let through with the only comment being "have a great flight, guys" and were wheels up shortly thereafter.
