Could we please add this to a list of things that need to be added to Australian aviation to make it catch up with the rest of the world (the other thing is implementing the 100 ml liquids rule so that international transfers don't require going through security again).
That's pretty daming if true.
It is my understanding (and for those in the industry please let me know if I'm mistaken here) that most movable stairs have a tow bar that allows it to be attached to a tug for towing. Oh and yes driven aircraft stairs do exist:

That too surprises me.
That's the concerning bit. Yes if it was a major airport like SYD or PER then I would expect the response to be quick but heaven help us if you end up with a serious emergency diversion to Surfer's Paradise airport or Alice Springs.
Just push past them, what are they gonna do? Arrest you?
