Doesn't sound like Qantas had any issues landing in their "emergency".
Purely the business side of handling the situation after Qantas's emergency was dealt with, and forgotten by Qantas, who want to get their schedule back in place, but the economics took over, much to Qantas's disdain, easily dealt with if they had done their planning and preparation in advance.
Something beancounters are experts at ignoring in the quest to cut costs
Much like calling out a plumber in an emergency, and expecting them to turn up at a moments notice, then send you a 60 day account for their service, instead of getting paid to fix your emergency straight away, and disrupting all their other customers.

yeah, it really sounds like Canberra Airport has had issues with Qantas paying up in the past, and "the cheques in the mail" wasn't going to cut it this time.
