Our present government is like a mortally wounded beast lurching and staggering about in the wilderness searching for our dollars to eat.... anything is possible at the moment.

The Yanks think our ASIC requirement is over the top, but it is similar to user pays and equally as useless.

You might ask why landing fees are charged at a locally owned airport, yet the parking area full of vehicles is free-of-charge? Same land, run by the same staff, and it could be very profitable.

 

happy days,

The most profitable operation of any major airport either here on anywhere in the world is the car park.
