It matters not Blackie, it is an exemption, NOT A PERMISSION.
This is the simple problem with the entire cluster**** that is aviation regulation in Australia - everything is prohibited but certain acts may be exempt from this blanket prohibition.
Look no further than CASA's use of the definition of "Regular public transport" over the years to shut down a variety of charter operations...at the same time as turning a blind eye to the "Yield management" practices - cancelling scheduled flights, of Qantas and Jetstar (and perhaps Virgin too for all I know).
That is simple corruption Blackie.
