Hmm...this is interesting?? 

1.45pm Domestic Aviation and Reform Division

2.15pm Airservices Australia

3.00pm Civil Aviation Safety Authority

From my reasonably informed position, this is the first time the departmental entity (ie the DARD) has been mentioned in any Senate RRAT Estimate dispatches. This would appear to be backed by the fact that when you Google the DARD it's web history only goes back to the beginning of February 2021?? 

However there is a history which leads to this webpage: see HERE
