[RFI] RFI complaints in Australia

[Bob]

I have a serious RFI problem at my QTH which appears to be an inverter/switched mode supply embedded on the power lines. I have DF it to a particular pole in my neighbourhood. The interference levels are around -63 dBm on 80 & 40M continually.
I reported the problem to the Power Line Authority and the ACMA, the government body that controls Amatuer radio in Australia, but  was dumb founded by the response from the ACMA as follows:

The Amateur service is a 'non protected service' and therefore has no protection against any interference at any time.
The Power Line Authority is required to investigate my complaint but no time frame is given. If the interference eminates from their equipment they are required to rectify the problem (no time frame given). If it is not their equipment then no further action is required.
If I can located the source of the interference and prove that the equipment is non compliant the ACMA 'may' investigate but if the owner denies them access to their property then they are unable to take further any action.
There are no Radio Inspectors in my State, VK5, and the ACMA would not send anyone over from VK2, their head office, to investigate anyway.
Amatuer Operators pay a minimal licence fee which is reflected in the service afforded to them.

The bottom line is 'locate and rectify the problem yourself or or put up with the problem'.
The Government would prefer that the Amateur Service did not exist as they are more trouble than they are worth.
