One of the reasons cabotage didnt work on previous attempts is the stupidity of injecting domestic pax into the woefully inadequate international terminals along with the need for passports etc.
However (and I notice that Ben S also has suggested this), the sheer hypocrisy of the Minister and his minions in loading the whole industry with the plethora of Australia only Aviation regs in the name of safety and then saying its OK for our domestic pax to travel on carriers who dont have to work under a similar safety regeme.
To me its a choice Minister, get rid of our Regs or dont let carriers operate here domestically who dont fall under those regs. And yes I know that International carriers flying purely International also dont fall under most of the regs but they are here because of current treaties, cabotage carriers are not covered under current treaties.

flew few times on Qantas ff tix, BNE/SYD on PX 763 & also NH 744 BNE/SYD on an Ansett ff ticket.
Any Kiwi airline can fly domestically in Australia, AFAIK without having to deal with CASA at all.
