Plus I imagine the trip cost of a clapped out Saab over a short distance would be competitive.
Rex have got a few 2 hour or greater holes in their schedule at some fairly important times (eg SYD-CBR there's an 8am then a 10am, similar in the evening 5pm and then 7pm). Any public servant familiar with the one hour window provision in the Lowest Practical Fare rule will be able to dance through those gaps.
