Exactly
Ironically, the number of aircraft that suffer fuel exhaustion hasn't changed that much, despite what the rules used to say and now say. This will be just another change without a difference. Will the aviation community and the public be safer as a consequence of this 'reform'? The answer is a categoric 'no'!
As usual, a prudent pilot will do prudent things regardless of the rules. But If CASA find they want to nail some poor sod, they now have the tools to turn you into a criminal.

Just like the firearms game, a criminal breaks in to your house, steals all your guns, yet you get nailed for not securing them properly Even though you complied with the regs to begin with. Of course the fact the crime knew who you were, where you lived and what you had because they had a copy of the registry, is no defence to you!

This country is slowly getting screwed up so bad by "legal departments" I think most people are headed towards adopting civil disobedience because no matter how good you are you are never going to win, so why bother.

Part 91 is going to be the same.
