To me, the word all, would mean every, including a schedule RPT flight to Newman (or insert the name of any regional town).
A flight to Newman is not in controlled airspace the whole way, so it is not "controlled all the way to the ground". Sir Angus said as much in his "In relation to lower classification airspace..." quote a few posts back.

No! We were in Class G ("F", for all intents and purposes) below 5500ft. We were NOT "controlled all the way to the ground"!
