Was watching the news today, when I noticed that the Queen had arrived in YSCB.
What I also noticed was the plethora of "dignataries" there to greet her as she stepped off the plane...AIRSIDE!
There wasn't an ASIC card to be seen, and last time I checked, CB is an RPT airport. Maybe a "head of state" is exempt, but I am pretty sure that a "chief minister" and his wife aren't exempt from security requirements.
Is it the fact that she arrived on a RAAF Base that precludes the requirement for an ASIC ? or are John Howard and his entourage "above the law"?
