You can't compare Bluescope as the scenarios are different. Also as far as I can tell the amount they paid was the amount they believed to have owed with the remaining in contention.
Bluescope is also is a much bigger company and can absorb these costs more easily... they are impacted far less.
As for why the ATO hasn't responded yet is anyone's guess. We also know that they are trying to claim $28M from Apple - while this is another different scenario, the ATO is obviously fighting on multiple fronts and could merely not have enough time to handle everything in a timely manner. Also, they could have devoted their resources to individual tax returns/other matters over the past few months... who knows...
