I'd suggest people ignore Graham's advice and read this instead: http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/c...01n170705.html

You may be correct Phil they may be "legal" but from what I have been told by someone that operates an airport shuttle business is that he has quite a large amount of "unpaid" infringement notices dating back over a couple of years or more but has not once had any legal action taken to recover any of the fines.

I've no knowledge on this topic, but just a thought...
Botany Council are the contracted airport grounds people, would this negate the 'non-standard signs' argument being bandied about?

You're right.

Generally,

The reporting today is suggesting that things were brewing on the aircraft and I've read other reports of crew apparently noticing tensions on board. There are also queries over the quality of the CCTV system in the terminal not being sufficient for identification and therefore limiting its value. I don't think it unreasonable to suggest that Qantas may need to consider if there were things they could have handled better.

the words "Bandit" tattooed on his throat

I doubt the majority of bikies have it tattooed on their throat. At least the ones on the flight didn't.
