You've answered your own question - of course it's politics!
If there's anyone around CASA who does just happen to be good at
Flight Path and Procedures Design there is no way they'll want them anywhere near this discussion. As I and others have posted above, the airspace design was finalised months ago.. this is the 'force-feeding it to the public' stage.
Just like the recent Master Plan issues at various airports, I'm sure there are ways to fight it (including but not limited to taking your complaint to the Minister) - but you can be sure the Department of Everything never run a race without a head start.
