Old Koreelah Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 About time the National Party stood up for rural voters and helped pay for government-imposed security standards.
Hwansey Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 I believe it was the Nat’s own John Anderson who ceded all responsibility from the Feds to the local councils for nearly all Australian regional and rural airports in order to save the Feds from the running costs.
jetjr Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Its all Ok Councils now have access to landing fees on all RAA aircraft to cover it Just more services provided for our benefit we should pay for 3
circuitsun Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 no problems at all, tell them to talk to micheal @ RAA, he jump to help. maybe double the cert charges, perhaps a levy on members should fix it. No end of possibilities

That is nowhere near the full story. That story goes all the way back to the 1950s. This link below provides context. Start from page 14.

kaz3g Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 The world is mad! Heading to Singapore today. Put me things in the security tray and stepped bravely through the scanner...ding! Take jacket off....ding Take belt off...ding. Take hay off...ding Take watch off...thank goodness...thought the pants and bra were next. I go through court security most days...never a problem. 1
facthunter Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Depressing but essential read. Confirms all my worst fears. Allow the time needed. about 1.5 hrs. Ref mnewbery's link, not your post Kaz . Nev 1
kaz3g Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 And if you go to Singapore, do NOT step over the red line until permission is granted...they still mete out capital punishment at Changi! Strewth!! I think I need to wear my Pensioners’ Association badge more conspicuously.
