It could have a link to this accident.
If it had remained class E the pilot would not have been forced to a lower altitude.
so it's 2021 and ATSB report is out. Pilot not licenced to fly due lack of renewal, no evidence of weather, briefing , no maps or navigation equipment including EFB on board and no Pan call.
Class E would have allowed the pilot to stay in the air at 6500 for sure , but what was he doing in the air in the first place?
lack of airpersonship and illegal operation of an aircraft caused this not class of airspace.
