Because your only source of [questionable] information is PPRuNe.
You know the internet is bigger than just PPrune, right?
As anyone who has crewed 24/7 AWSAR in the past will know it is 10 times more involved and difficult than LIMSAR, given the requirements for a bunch of gap analysis, risk assessments, CASA manual approvals and CASA exemptions etc. If HNZ are struggling to get day only LIMSAR up and running some 6 months late they will be in for a big shock when they move onto AWSAR, it just ain't easy and nor should it be, compared to offshore flights it has a significantly higher risk profile.
I sincerely hope that all players keep their focus on what's important & that's staying safe out there!

As I understand it the contract is to provide AWSAR.
Twisty
When HNZ can’t do it (temporarily we would assume), someone is paying (extra) BRS and CHC to do it.
Slightly off topic and apologies for that but with this many Aus experts, who is flying the Chevron work in the GAB at the moment? I heard a couple of rumours about that too.

NWS, from Friday's ABC online
So I don't think anyone is or will be flying it.
Major international energy company Chevron has announced it has joined BP in abandoning plans to drill in the Great Australian Bight on South Australia's west coast.
It said while the Bight had massive potential, low oil prices had forced it to concentrate on other projects.
Chevron said the decision to ditch its $400 million plans had nothing to do with government policy, regulatory, community or environmental concerns.

II, thank you Sir. I heard Babcock had it but that wasn't so much of a rumour as a press release that was publicly announced...! Fail on my part. And there was me thinking I had some gossip...

inpex uses HNZ and BRS as helicopter companies so while BRS covers limsar we are covering more offshore runs which they would be doing. So i don't think it costs extra for BRS to do limsar.

The water is warm, not sure why they'd need an AWSAR capability. In Bass Strait the water is cold: for almost 50 years Esso has never had a night SAR capability, or all-WX day capability for that matter. This must be a new-age Shell driven thing.
Apparently you can still drown in warm water....................................
Esso have a night AWSAR capability? I don't think so....if you're talking about the CHC contract to cover the Esso SAR requirement, that is 5 days per week, daytime only, right? As far as I know, if an Esso crew gets called out at night, and the unfortunate should happen and they end up floating on the tide, they continue floating until day break.
