Su_Spence still stalling on promised delegated legislation amendments -

Referring to Appendix D to DLM 16 tabled in Parliament it can be seen that yet again (refer post above) the Su_Spence regime is still yet to fufill promised undertakings dated as far back as 20th of April 2021?? 

However Su_Spence probaly deserves a little credit for reeling in some of the behemoth pile of delegated legislation exemptions normally tabled in the first sitting day of a new parliamentary sitting: Senate Journals 22 November

Civil Aviation Act 1988—
Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 and Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998—
Carriage of Children with a Serious Medical Condition (Virgin Australia Airlines)
Instrument 2021—CASA EX 126/21 [F2021L01468].
Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998—Part 91 MOS Amendment Instrument
2021 (No. 1) [F2021L01533].

Finally, I note that BJ's department has come through on exemptions for charter operators operating international medical evacuation flights:

Air Navigation Act 1920—Air Navigation (Exemption for Commercial
Non-Scheduled Flights) Amendment Determination 2021 [F2021L01450].
