It was a media report only but if correct it may make any form of staff travel return to Australia difficult.
Luckily this got sorted out very quickly and the pax got home.

DFAT are able to increase daily caps at times when things like this happen.

Had a mate in a similar position due missed connection and they allowed the airline to increase caps by 5. It certainly wasn’t that easy and took many emails and calls, it does however happen.
