Yeah right: http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/8487332/Cost-of-flying-to-rise-further
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said on Thursday that airline passenger security charges from the Aviation Security Service, paid by airlines for departing passengers, would rise from June 1.

International charges will be almost tripled, from $3.98 to $11.98, while domestic chages will climb fivefold, from 90 cents to $4.60.

The CAA said the increases came two years after charges were reduced in a plan to eliminate a $27 million surplus.

“When the reduction was announced in 2011, the Government signalled that passenger security charges would need to increase again from 2013, once the accumulated surplus had been redistributed to air travellers,” CAA chairman Nigel Gould said.

That could be seen as an attempt at making a legal threat. A curious phrase, what “bit of law in two different jurisdictions” are you referring to? Or is open disclosure one way for you? Are you acting for someone here?

Maybe you should change the law so there is one jurisdiction, then idiots will not feel threatened. In a similar fashion bicycle mechanics can service 747’s and Submarines.

PG: Are you some sort of idiot? A threat? I asked you how you earn an income…and then disclosed how I earn mine (through a bit of journalism and the practice of law in two countries) How do you fashion a threat out of that?

No, I am not acting for anyone with regard to you. I just wonder how you have time to comment more than 16,000 times on here if you also work – paid employment I mean, not keeping busy around the house. It seems you are reluctant to tell us.

That highlights one of the hazards of social media, very easy to misinterpret.

Not that it’s relevant here DG, except perhaps for your references to Ure, who was often attacked for his income status, and that some seem to be trying to take that angle on attacking me. But I have said in the past, and I responded when you first asked earlier in this thread.
