The ones with security signage (complying with the requirements of Subdivision 3.3.1A of the Aviation Transport Security Regulations 2005) on the fence.

The RPT at YMRY don't bother me, and I hope I don't bother them. But I'm allergic to the meatbomber ops. The meat bombs land on the aerodrome.

From: QLD - where drivers are yet to realise that the left lane goes to their destination too.
I posted in the other Aus forum:
Auscheck-cost-recovery-implementation-statement.pdf
It says that:
AusCheck’s regulatory fees follow a ‘fee-for-service’ model, where the fee charged to each applicant reflects the delivery cost of the specific service they require.
Also that:
AusCheck’s recent under-recovery of revenue is primarily a result of delays in the ongoing work associated with the establishment of a Single Issuing Body, as well as the delivery of Major National Events for which costs could not be recovered. AusCheck has been undertaking work to establish a Single Issuing Body for Aviation and Maritime Security Identity Cards.
Recovery of revenue is dependent on the transition of cardholders to the Single Issuing Body, which has been subject to a number of delays and scheduling changes.
In addition, AusCheck’s expanding remit now includes background checks for workers associated with Major National Events, and costs associated with delivering checks for some of these events could not be recovered.
One could argue that their internal accounting problems should not count towards the delivery cost of the specific service I require ie my background check. Why should I be subsidizing the checks they cannot recover costs from, or for the government goal-post shifting incurring administrative costs external to and irrelevant to the service they are providing me?

Since 2018, the cost of a NSW Driver Licence has increased 26% to $422 for 10 years.

In that same time...

...the cost of an Australian Passport has increased nearly 50% from $282 to become one of the most expensive in the world at $422 for 10 years.
...and the cost of an ASIC has increased 106% from $256 to $528 for 2 years.

As I posted in 2018, why on earth is an ASIC more expensive than a 10 year passport?

I can only comment on Airports in QLD, and that includes remote western QLD. There are not many places you can go and get fuel / comfort stop without finding yourself at a Security Controlled Airport.
