QFcrew:
ASIC is basically just a criminal record check. The AGSVA process looks into your allegiances, associates etc and you have to be an Australian citizen to go through it.
Have you any idea of the cost and complexity of mandating such a process? Obviously not.
Furthermore, such a mandate would give governments absolute intrusive powers that you can be sure will be abused. For example, having to disclose the details of the family black sheep, your former marriages and the details of associates that have no relation to your primary daily task.
i have experience of this absurd crap. i have a nephew with a criminal record and another pair of relatives in let us say, the judiciary. None of us are even allowed to talk to this kid, let alone try and assist his rehabilitation, thanks to goddamned criminal association reporting requirements for the judiciary, which can see them lose their jobs for associating with criminals. is that the sort of rubbish you want to visit on pilots? everyone has stuff they do not wish to air and do not and should not be forced to reveal it unless it is directly relevant to their daily employment.
furthermore, such a regime by definition, would apply to a lot more jobs than mere pilots.
