Knee jerking and tautology?

Why so much focus on warbirds and experimentals? I thought CASA's main perogative, there robust charter was to protect the travelling public who choose to fly not knowing the risks, e.g Domestic and International travel?
Most people, industry or not, know that there is an elevated or additional risk flying in a 50 year old warbird or in an experimental aircraft, so why the big changes to CASA's thinking?
Does this mean they are now interested also in the freight industry, all those large jets flying around daily? The same aircraft they weren't interested in before because technically they posed minimal risk to the public?

Or has something else triggered their newfound interest in tightening up the warbird/experimental element?

Watch out warbirders and experimentalists, the Stasi are coming to a field near you!
