There was a very good reason for it.
Some pilots were trying to bypass the Australian ATPL exams by obtaining a foreign ATPL and then converting it to an Aussie ATPL. I recall the major Australian airlines then required you to sit all the Aussie ATPL exams if your Australian ATPL was as a result of a foreign conversion.
I think that particular problem has gone away under the Part 61 rules.
