DLM 13 of 2020 - Implemented undertakings? 

A point of interest from the latest 'Delegated Legislation Monitor' was under the 'implemented undertakings' sub-heading, where it would appear that the Department of Infrastructure etc has come in over the top of a recently amended and approved CASA delegated legislative instrument:

Here is the link for the instrument: https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2020L00796

Yet to track the Department's amendment to the explanatory statement? However I did note the following text with particular interest?

 Although the instrument would provide a similar exemption for an additional 3 years, the following information is relevant:
(a)   for the reasons mentioned under the heading “Purpose”, MITDs continue to be unable to comply with materials flammability requirements contained in applicable airworthiness standards;
(b)   because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an increased need for aircraft to be able to carry MITDs for the transport of infectious patients;
©   CASA intends to amend Part 21 of CASR in a way that will avoid the need for ongoing exemptions of the same kind (see https://www.casa.gov.au/rules-and-regulations/changing-rules/rule-development-projects/project-cs-1312-post-implementation-review-casr-subparts-21m-and-21j-and-associated-part-21).

Hmm...my question is why stop there (part in bold)?? -
