The explanation that you're seeking should be directed at Martin Dolan, because it was him who stated that the ATSB did not think that it was particularly relevant that PA was breaching regulations and legislation.
You ask which regulations PA didn't comply with. The answer to your question was in the CASA Safety Audit Report if you'd bothered to read it. In summary the CASA audit found the following noncompliances in the group:
CAR220(1)
CAR215(2)
CAR 233(3)
CAR 78 and CAO 82.1
CAR 235(1) and (2)
CAR 233(1)
CAO20.7.1B parts 4, 7 & 12
CAR 215(8)
CAO 20.11 parts 11 & 12
CAO 82.1 para 3.3
CAO 40.0 para 5.1, resulting in noncompliance with CAR 215(2)
CAR 215(9)
CASR 92.095
CAR 5.04
CAO 48 para 4
CAR 50
CAR 253(4)
Act Section 28BE paragraph (1), (2), (3a), and (3b).
