More attention for CASA's RPL?
25 hours with some time in controlled airspace/airport + BAK exam/PPL exam + 5 hours XC. Minimum age 16. Essentially the same as the RPC except you can fly aircraft up to 1500kg that are VH registered, can get CSU, TW, MPPC, Seaplane endorsements. Get a class 2 and you can carry as many passengers as you want.
Correct me anywhere if I'm wrong, but with all the above in mind I don't understand why this isn't a more popular licence choice! 30 hours and you can have the same privileges as a PPL.
