I've got another suggestion: With mandatory ADS-B just around the corner, 'Big Brother' will soon know where all the aircraft are and where they're headed at any given time. In this age of automation, perhaps 'Big Brother' can also be programmed to filter all the data Airservices receives from BoM and push anything relevant to the controller's console.
The ATSB report did say that Airservices would explore avenues to better disseminate relevant information, so it will be interesting to see what evolves, if anything. To be fair to the ATSB, is it their job to develop the solutions? My understanding is that they are tasked with determining the safety issues, but it's the relevant organisation's job to come up with the answers. If the ATSB isn't satisfied with the result, they can then issue a safety recommendation, as they did over one of the issues that was highlighted in the report. By law, the relevant organisation must then, within 90 days, either accept the recommendation and provide details of how the recommendation will be effected; or explain, for the public record, why the recommendation is not accepted.
