I left a request for HDB. I am sure that in the near future the disk will be placed there.

had my copy delivered the other day. had a quick skim through it.
No menu authored on this release. literally barebones. You get the Aussie copyright warning and Umbrella ident then straight to the film.
Video - it's a dated HD transfer but it still holds up on first impressions. saw a bit of print damage on the opening titles. compression looks ok so far
Audio - juicy. skipped to a couple of specific scenes and the bass is powerful. need to compare with the R1 DTS-ES DVD. No Matrix flagging on my amp so it's 5.1 and not 6.1. Since it's 21 years old now I think it doesn't have the same aggressiveness as I've heard on more recent titles but it's still impressive. Quite a few titles from the 90's had a pretty impressive audio mix.
was worth the £10.70 purchase!

Australians are the most hacky publishers, usually they don’t worry about the source, but add what they have, very often the sound on the publications is very weak, but fortunately it’s very decent.

This was discussed earlier, neither Dolby or DTS had a discrete 6.1 theatrical format in the 35mm era, the rear surround was matrix encoded. SDDS was 7.1 but that was 5 front, 2 rear (plus LFE).
