Porter, you don't fly a jet do you?
After reading the report, it appears the ATSB highlight the importance of an alerted search. What happens when that fails which can be case at these uncontrolled airports? The chances of radio issues (turned down, not on the correct frequency, not in the location broadcasted) can occur leaving a jet 'blind' to traffic in the area. There's a huge difference in professional airmanship vs someone who flys very little which is more likely OCTA at regional airports. The use of TCAS as a primary method of alerted search is also wrong (CAAPs Alerted search) due to limitations with TCAS.
Where is CASA on this issue??
