Australian ATC need to get their act together.
Why is it the fault of the ATCs? ATCs are constantly under supervision; they have random audio samples conducted. Failure to comply with the 'published procedures' results in disciplinary action which may lead to LOEQ = termination of employment. If the regulations are not compliant to ICAO then a deviation must be published; is this the case with this procedure; I doubt it.

So Australia follows the international rules and are criticised (admittedly only here) for doing so...? This procedure is certainly contained within MATS/AIP/Local documentation; hardly giving any ground for the ATCs to step outside the SOPs.

I believe this problem arose when SACL/FAC etc. put the parallel runway too close to the existing runway.
