RFDS Minimums

Can someone explain this?

General RFDS experience minimums as published on their website:

Australian commercial pilots licence.
Current command instrument rating (multi-engine) with two renewals.
2000 hours as pilot-in-command.
1000 hours as pilot-in-command of a multi-engined aircraft.
200 hours night operations as pilot-in-command.
Pilots with turbo-prop experience preferred.

As published on the SE section website:

Total Command Time - 3000 hours minimum
Total Night Hours - 500 hours minimum
Total Multi engine command - 500 hours minimum
Instrument Flight Time - 500 hours minimum
No. of Instrument rating renewals - 5

I have been flying in the same region as all the "Mike Victa" aircraft for about 10 years and Kimberley before that. I know where I would rather live for lifestyle alone - is this the reason for the higher minima?
