As for the regular low circuits? That one is a bit of a mystery
I remember him as capable, intelligent and exacting, and certainly not a risk taker
commuted to and from work on a weekly basis by company owned and operated aircraft, which shall we say, operated in a less than expected manner. Perhaps his continued exposure to such inculcated a certain modus operandi.
You can look for the answers in the "company" operating methods, but as always it comes down to the individuals discipline and choices in how he/she conducts the flight.
They haven't killed anyone as far as I understand... Usually a pretty good measure of luck and or safety.

Back to the subject of Carburettor Icing.
Carb ice can be very insidious, particularly if the pilot is distracted by something else. I recall that a visiting C172, from an area where carby icing is very common, fell short of the runway by a goodly way due to carb icing, because the pilot was sorting out an electrical failure.
Who knows what else was going on in the cockpit that day at Mudgee.
