I am unsure what you mean here, Peter.
Can you expand on your first paragraph? Are your referring to whether the ACMA/DoCA has/has not chosen to adopt parameters-based licensing (or, will retain Apparatus-Class-Spectrum licensing)? See: www.communications.gov.au/what-we-do/spectrum/spectrum-reform
There has only been one consultation stage for the Exposure Draft of the new Radiocommunications Bill; from the DoCA website: "There will be a second round of consultation before the Bill is finalised for introduction into parliament." It is clear from submissions to the first Exposure Draft that there is little question that parameters-based licensing will be introduced in the new radcomm Act. The government's intention was first advised in 2014 and publicised by the WIA (web, broadcast, AR mag) at regular intervals every year since then.
Consultation is launched by the govt in the public domain - keep an eye on the ACMA and DoCA websites.
I am not privy to any more information than is already in the public domain.
