This is from the AIM and doesn't appear in the AIP which I suspect is the reason for the United Mayday and their ability to take the vectors. In Australia you are supposed to divert if you can't take the holding.
They would have a Part 129 AOC from CASA which says what they can do, where they can land, and what procedures they can fly. It is also conditional on following the Australian rules where required. I didn't hear them report endurance.
