Still appears to be there to me:
CAR 206 (1)
(b) charter purposes, being purposes of the following kinds
(i) the carriage of passengers or cargo for hire or reward to or from any place, other than carriage in accordance with fixed schedules to and from fixed terminals;
...
(c) the purpose of transporting persons generally, or transporting cargo for persons generally, for hire or reward in accordance with fixed schedules to and from fixed terminals over specific routes with or without intermediate stopping places between terminals.
CAR 206 actually looks pretty straightforward to me. I think the problems people have are twofold:
1) CASA has made some decisions based on "the vibe" rather than what CAR 206 actually says, then tried to interpret the rule to match their decision
2) People try to mash CAR 206 and CAR 2(7) together into one rule and/or are unsure of the difference between them.
