I enquired of CASA whether a multi-engine flight review also counts as a revalidation of the single-engine class and got a nice, clear answer (it was also received promptly, which was nice).
From CASA:
I know I think we've already ascertained this on this thread but it was good to get an answer from the horse's mouth.
From CASA:
A MEA flight review covers you for SEA operations however only the MEA validity will actually be reflected on the licence.

Pontius, did they give you an actual ref ie CASR 61.xxx, just curious because I am sure I read it at some point, but since haven't been able to find it again.

I give flight reviews in the US. I thought the idea was good, and simple to achieve. I cannot believe the level of complexity you have managed to develop for such a simple procedure.
In Aus I would still be just a junior instructor who couldn't even send a pilot solo.

Any aircraft for which you are rated may be used for the flight review. If you are rated for single-engine land and multiengine land, you may complete the flight review in either a single or a multiengine aircraft. Additionally, if you are rated for another aircraft category, such as glider, you may take the flight review in any aircraft in that category, and it satisfies the requirement for all categories.
I suppose on a practical note, the multi/single/glider pilot who has carried out a flight review in a glider probably flies a twin or single regularly, so it's not a matter of them being unable to fly the aircraft and that's why we don't see them falling from the sky or trying to core into a thermal when a donk stops but a flight review is supposed to be an opportunity for you to demonstrate competence in the aircraft class and I don't really see how being an aero tow ace really shows competence in handling an engine failure in a twin.
All that having been said; good work if you can get it
Edited to add: all this was written before Boofhead reduced his post by about 95%.

What about two airline pilots in an IO550 powered C185
I have seen that a bit……so far C185 intact
The old adage was that the tree most dangerous things in aviation are -
a doctor in a Bonanza
2 airline pilots in a 172
a flight attendant with a chipped tooth.........................
