According to Australian Flying
http://www.australianflying.com.au/latest/aviation-community-goes-quiet-on-medical-feedback
They have had as few as 10 submissions so far.
Maybe everyone in Australian aviation is just sick of CASA and their
obtuse, cloth eared approach to aviation regulation?

23 Feb 17 : CASA Briefing Newsletter - More comments needed on the
future of medicals
Time is running down on the chance to have a say on the future of
pilot medical certification. CASA needs comments from people across
the aviation community on a comprehensive medical discussion paper.
While some people have already sent submissions, many more are
needed. The paper sets out a range of medical certification issues
and puts forward a number of options. These options range from
continuing existing medical requirements to developing a new medical
certificate for the sport and recreational sectors. They also
include re-assessing risk tolerances, streamlining certification
practices, aligning sport and recreational standards and mitigating
the risks of any changes through operational restrictions. The
discussion paper looks at a range of other relevant issues such as
CASA's approach to aviation medicine, the approach to medical
certification in four other nations, pilot incapacitation in
Australia, accidents and risks, psychiatric conditions and the
protection of third parties. The discussion paper makes it clear
CASA's operational objective is to strive to let as many people
continue to fly as safely as possible. However, CASA is aware there
is a perception from some elements of the pilot community that CASA
can take an overly rigorous approach in terms of testing and
contesting opinions from other doctors. Comment on the
<https://mailinglist.casa.gov.au/lt.php?id=cRoFUAlKUlUGCB9VAAIJVQ>medical
discussion paper by 30 March 2017.
Regarding Class 2 Medical reform, AOPA put forward a proposal on 23
August 2016 which you may wish to support (2 page summary CASA
discussion paper and AOPO recommendation attached). Possibilities
include addressing each of the 6 options put forward by CASA, or
simply stating that "the AOPO proposal dated 23 August 2016
regarding Class 2 Medical reform is supported by me". Submissions
to <mailto:avmed...@casa.gov.au>avmed...@casa.gov.au by 30 March 17
and should include in the subject line: 'AvMed discussion paper'.
