Per chance I bumped into the Chair of the "Space Industry Innovation Council" while attending the PM's Science Prize awards night at Parliament House a few years ago.
It was like the Hospital with no patients from "Yes Minister".
These possums have been busy drafting legislation for Australia's Space industry for a while...I believe their last budget was some $80 million of taxpayer funded dollars.
As for their launch schedule...well...the ones they are supposed to oversee...there were around half a dozen or so in the decade they have been about. Most were balloons I believe. Poor buggers must have been working 24/7 with that sort of high pressure and cutting edge launch schedule.
That said, they have not been sitting idle: we have lots of legislation now to cover any wannabe Buck Rodgers daring to go to orbit from Aussie turf, see:

So now we are going from a Space Council to a fully fledged Space Agency!
Oh Pleeease....really??
Rob Sitch and the Utopia team could have such a field day......
