Well, given the CASA rego database is public-access (and don't get me started on that...), if I am out flying my RV and prang it, I don't want some journo finding my name and address, and either rocking up on the doorstep or calling the missus asking how she feels having her hubby in a plane crash when I haven't told her yet.
For company-owned aircraft, perhaps they don't want the media on their doorstep or hounding the office girl for a comment. Both understandable to me.
