Incase your wondering why only a select few flights to SYD / MEL and not all of them went 3 crew and why leave out BNE ?
It would be because GCAA approval process requires a trial period and review of reports prior to final approval.
Newsletter did not state this or that the GCAA will also require to review all the ASRs and CSR and Fatigue reports submitted during this trial period.
A precedent had all-ready been established with the 14 HR Dubai-Toronto 3 crew flight. This also had a trail period however not enough reports were received to deem 3 crew unacceptable so approval was given.
GCAA have a confidential report line if your concerned and want anonymity then details can be found under GCAA CAAP 57 ( VORSY) Voluntary Reporting Procedure. All aviation companies are required to notify employees of this procedure.

On the flip side the ridiculous 100 hours a month thats now the norm will drop off.
When you do one of these 3 crew flights and decide not to file an ASR/CSR/Fatigue report then your part of the problem and not the solution.
