Here it is:

Investigation: AO-2011-090 - Loss of separation involving Boeing 737, VH-VZC and Boeing 737, VH-VOT at BLAKA

and from Ben at How AirServices Australia endangered two 737s in 2011 | Plane Talking , the following comments:

Despite corrective action by the controller the separation between the two jets, with a combined capacity of approximately 348 seats was reduced to as little as 400 feet vertically and 7200 metres laterally compared to a minimum safe standard of no less than 1000 feet and 9300 metres respectively.

Come on Senators, we have to stop this risk.

Question is, when will the FAA come down on us and call for a downgrade of our access to the US market???
