I'm guessing pundits aren't aware of the govt's real agenda as explained by the FCAI submission:
"
The FCAI supports the Government’s objective to harmonise ADRs with international standards, specifically, the United Nations Regulations (UN Regs) for light vehicles (L-category and MA, MB, MC and NA category vehicles). The FCAI position is that:
UN Regs must be allowed as alternative standards for existing and future ADRs.
Australia must apply any UN Reg that is accepted as an Alternative Standard for an ADR.
Any new ADRs must be based on a UN Reg and supported by a rigorous Regulation Impact Statement.
