I think you are not quite correct to suggest that whilst the calls are "recommendations but they are not optional - pilots are expected to make all the calls".
 
The issued guide booklet says:
"ERSA PREVAILS"
"The new procedures however will not override any local procedures detailed in the En-Route Supplement Australia (ERSA)."
 
Accordingly local procedures as advised via ERSA could state that only certain of the calls be made on the basis of the necessity to reduce radio call congestion.

During the briefing at Benalla we were told that they are a "recommendation" not a "requirement" - but it is strongly recommended.
We discussed this further and decided that the most important calls were "Down wind" and "Turning base".
