At least the Mt Isa Constabulary did their job properly.

Australia should straight out adopt the NZ rules. At least we will not be all criminals, and the rewrite only took five years.
Problem is our law language is in the strict liability (?) sense: a pilot commits an offence unless... An operator commits an offence unless... They don't have to prove why you broke a rule, just that you did. It's up to the defence to argue the breach was not on purpose. Casa very rarely pull that string but they certainly can. Their legal department is VERY selective of what they will pursue
That's howall law in Australia is written I'm led to believe, if you changed that they would have to rewrite ever law in Australia.
