ATSB incorrect or Skytrans now a LOCAP operator?

I was scrolling through the ATSB site to see if there were any updates on this incursion as yet. I noticed the ATSB has Skytrans listed as a LOCAP operation? Aren't they a HICAP operation? If they are in fact LOCAP, when was their AOC amended and 'downsized'? If though they are a HICAP operator would the ATSB site in fact be incorrect in its details? And dear oh dear, if the ATSB can't even get those simple facts correct how can they possibly determine what the root cause of the incursion was
