Creamie you waffle on about the "Regulatory" differences between charter and RPT, when in reality it is by and large regulatory "Piffle", has very little to do with "Safety" and just puts up "regulatory" road blocks to impede "Commerce" and costs everyone a fortune for no measurable improvement in Safety.
To CASA, get off your collective asses, piss off the lawyers and write regulations, preferrably in less than a million pages, that an ordinary person can understand and comply with, that meets worlds best practice, complies with ICAO, and follows what your government required you to do 20 odd years ago. You corrupt assh..les have blown hundreds of millions of taxpayers money to achieve nothing, Jeez people complain about the BER, you guys leave them for dead,and we still have a third world safety record.
If you are incapable of that, then get out of the game and lets subcontract Australian oversight to a "Competent" Authority, PNG comes to mind, or maybe the FAA would take it on, the savings we could put to reducing the national debt and we just might have an aviation Industry again.
