ICAO introducing MP License

I don't know if this has been taken up before but. what are your thoughts on this new multi-crew licensing system that ICAO has introduced across Europe and now Asia. 250 hours and they are off to the right seat of an A320.
cripes !!!
I read that a lot of pilots in the airline are questioning this in regards to experience, airmanship and handling. ( I wonder how Captains here would react)
Apparently this license will be the equivalent of a "frozen" ATPL without going through the usual licensing progression ( GFPT, PPL, CPL ).
This incorporates everything including instrument rating, not sure about multi engine training as I have seen second officers in Asia jumping from Cessna 172s to A330 with just 200 hours.
Would anyone know if CASA has something on the pipeline ?
