This is true, a guy a few years ago took CASA to the administrive appeals tribunal and got his co pilot restriction lifted. also the wording left the door open for a class 1 to be issued, however not for a little while. whilst flying solo with a ppl would be nice, taking Casa to the AAT is a very big decision and requires alot of time and money, so for now i reckon solo in a tecnam (that could be registered VH) is good enough.

I agree

Andy, i also am a type 1, but it is actually possible to obtain a class 2 medical. however they slug you with a copilot restriction. All that is required is a strict set of guidlines and have a favorible report from an endocrinologist. PM me if you want some more information.

I thought it would be interesting to know how many people have been effected by Casa's recent decision to make the class 2 medical mandatroy for controlled airspace.
