CP, thank you for your clear explanation.
The strict liability the issues were not discussed by the "rapporteur"(?! why not facilitator?) in the terms your post sets out. It was implied that CASA ALSO had issues with regard to the widespread inclusion of the strict liability provisions, and it was said that the issue was being taken up with the AG's Department. So if there was milage to be made, it was validated by acknowledgement from the rapporteurs that the strict liability issue was a matter which could and would be contested by CASA.
That aside, the feedback that I've heard from the conference was generally positive. The general impression I get is that people went away feeling that at last the voices of the wider aviation community were not only being sought, but actually listened to.
