From the 2008 ICAO audit -

3.1.17 The Airspace Act 2007 establishes CASA’s responsibility to “administer and regulate Australian-administered airspace,” which includes the airspace over Australian territory, and airspace that has been allocated to Australia by ICAO under the Chicago Convention and for which Australia has accepted responsibility.

The Act requires the Minister to make an “Australian Airspace Policy Statement” outlining the government’s policy with respect to classification, designation and strategies for the administration and management of Australian-administered airspace. This statement must be reviewed every three years, with consultation between the Department of Infrastructure, CASA, AA and other relevant entities.
Seems to me someone remembered to tick the boxes, but forgot to attach the letter to the email. Someone should remember that even the lowliest in places like ICAO and FAA can manage to read English, even the mangled stuff produced by the stellar report writers. Mayhap - Perhaps, with more compliance a little less time could be wasted persecuting and a little more spent pursuing worthy objectives (like first world compliance) would reduce the mounting court costs? Hell, we may even find words like "alleged" being used; or is that a bridge too far?
