In April, PCI reported on a legal requirement in airport parking fines resulting in fines being issues by unauthorised people, with fines potentially dating back to 2004 becoming invalid. Read more about this in PCI’s blog post ‘Flaw in airport parking fines’.
Last week, Federal Transport Minister Anthony Albanese moved to pass a bill called the ‘Airports (On-Airport Activities Administration) Validation Bill 2010’ in order to close the loophole, and provide the necessary legal certainty that each parking ticket issued is valid. He said that all authorisations for the issuing staff were now up to date.
