And there it is, right on cue.
I'm trying to think of the aviation safety debate version of Godwin's Law. Instead of a Hitler or Nazi analogy inevitably arising, it's the overblown risk that relies on cognitive bias.
I'll call it LB's law: Sooner or later some infinitesimally small risk will be overblown and used as a justification in Australia for something that has been demonstrated as unjustified in other places where the same risk is greater.
ShyTorque: If all the fast jets in the Australian military took off at the same time and flew for their endurance trying deliberately to collide with a light aircraft in the air, the chances one of them achieving that outcome are lower than one of them being hit by a meteor. That's why nations with fast jet fleets a hundred times bigger than Australia's have military airspace volumes one thousandth the size (and less) than Australia's.
