I wouldn't want to listen to station radio calls, but that's my choice.  Every
person can choose what they wish to listen to.

Boring yes, illegal no.  Scanning radio transmissions in Australia is not
illegal.  Scanning telephone or radio-telephone calls is illegal.  It is also an
offence to divulge what you hear on a radio transmission to person not party to
the conversation.
