ASICs for BIRDSVILLE?
It's around a month to go before a bunch of us head towards YBDV for the weekend to part with some hard earned $$ on both getting there and punting, but my question is:
How will this new SecurityControlled Airport house so many, shall we say tired and emotional types, without displaying their "even harder earned" ASIC?

DoTARS have issued an exemption to all persons attending the Birdsville races from the need to display an ASIC between 29 August and 5 September 2006. For further information contact Andrew Geddes, Diamantina Shire Council, 07 4746 1202
So says the info on my club site. However, I cannot find any evidence to corroberate this information on the DOTARS site. Best bet is phone Mr Geddes and ask the question.

tobzalp, precisely. Now, all you prospective terrorists take note - 29 Aug to 5 Sep is when you must strike - at Birdsville, ok? Any other time or any other place, you haven't a chance... the ASIC will save us! 
Geez that's alright, for a moment there I thought I was going to get strangled whilst sleeping by my own ASIC hanging around my neck, 
.
Bring on the races I say!

Excellent. When an 'anti terrorist' measure becomes too much of an inconvenience to enforce they just scribble out an exemption. Money well spent these ASICs.

For future reference to potential BDV visitors, the gate code next to the bowser is written on the back of the door.
...or you can just walk around to the makeshift 2' wire fence.

Well from DOTARS' perspective what could they do?
Picture it!
Some min wage, uniformed goon pitches up and demands to see the ASICs of a plane load of typical race goers as they unload 600kg of party essentials from a C210...and gets his lights punched out
Think about it....it would be embarrassing!
Think about the OH&S ramifications
It'd be all over Pprune and the thread would go for 20 pages....DOTARS would be a laughing stock...oh yeah, I remember now...they are already

Seems that the exemption is true.

and the affected areas on the picture are the runways and GA and RPT aprons.

One other question, is 00:00 Tuesday on Monday night or Tuesday night? Bit misleading to say 00:00 Tuesday for the start when, by my reckoning it's actually Wednesday morning the exemption starts and finishes. Of course it SHOULD be 0000Z (i.e. 10am) but what chance they thought of that?

I'm annoyed that I had to search out and discover this information.
Dotars made the exemption, so they should inform all affected parties, (ie pilots) via a better method than simply a 2 page notice in an 80 page, weekly government gazette.
The pollies and bureaucrates seem to assume that I have absolutely nothing better to do than to continuously monitor their proclamations and utterings to discover if something they've dreamt up is going to affect me.
