Doug, I read the Australian article and smiled. Let's create fear in the travelling public as a political pressure.
Why don't we have wall to wall air traffic control and surveillance? Something in the back of my mind about Australia adopting "user pays" (pay our way, have our say) whereas the USA doesn't have that and so provides ATC as a service.
Then there is surveillance. I'm not aware of Dick being a proponent of ADS-B to extend surveillance, in fact I believe he won't fit it to his Citation.
I'm sure the great unwashed readers might believe someone with a radio on the ground at Lockhart River might have saved the day - I'm uncertain how that would have stopped someone deliberately breaching the LSALT.
Surveillance costs $. Do you see the airlines calling for towers and ATC? From memory Avalon was carrying over a million pax a year, with nearby ESL students flying through the airspace, before the airspace study and tower was forced through.
You speak the truth, there is a lot more to this than just a headline ;-)"

Apart from the fact that this shite was written by one of the internets greatest serial pests, I was more curious about the photo that was attached to the comment - which one of those two is Brian??
