In fairness to the agencies involved it's only right to report that this particular storm in a teacup has apparently been resolved. Using my own application as an example, I received the callsign for my second station a couple of weeks ago and the ACMA, the regulatory authority, sent the email advice below to amateurs yesterday.

We don't live in a kakistocracy and the majority of Australians have no truck with the ridiculously non-linear reactions to minor events of gun tote'n conspiracy theorists (or related nutters), except perhaps in terms of amusement.  Fortunately.

ACMA Update

4 March 2021

Call-sign processing times back on track
 
After meeting recently with the AMC to discuss the delays in call-sign processing, we’re happy to report that processing times are back to normal.

While demand for new call-signs remains high, the AMC has confirmed that it has cleared the backlog of applications. We’ll continue to work with the AMC to mitigate the risk of these delays in the future and will continue to use our amateur bulletin to update you on amateur-related matters.

We’d like to thank the amateur community for its patience during this time. We’d also like to thank the AMC for dealing with the huge number of requests for call-sign changes during the COVID disruption.
