The curfew issue at Sydney is one to which I will not be drawn into deep comment, other than to say I think that any 'global city' should have an airport accessible by international jet operations 24 hrs / day.
That having been said, rules are rules, and to blatantly disregard them (and no it was not a matter of 'just a few minutes') is criminal by definition and deserves to be punished! If you don't like the rules by which the game is played, don't break them, lobby to get them changed. All this incident serves to do it weaken JQ/QFs position to get the rules changed.
I say again SYD needs another airport which is not affected by this curfew...
