It’s been a long running fight between Hobart Airport and the Federal police after the Federal police gave up about five or six years ago, even when the seasonal international flights run. HBA is#8 busiest in n Australia. Tasmania police do patrol the airport but I don’t think it’s full-time.

No doubt FF members would have seen the announcement of a national risk management review for regional airports.This may be reassuring but to be realistic if someone really wants to get they will. What counts is being able to detect them once they are inside .
Several years ago I was at a regional airport when an intruder in broad daylight managed to hop the rather high fence and get past a fairly heavily patrolled area.The only warring was the media turning up at a side gate as the intruder was a single issue protester and had forewarned the media that something was going to occur.
Still air travel remains the statistically safest way to travel.
