And a few quotes on facebook:
"The Qantas crew and Kalgoorlie Ground crew member Courtney were amazing! Courtney in particular came in after working around the clock the night before. Welcomed us to Kal with an incredible sense of humour and single-handedly sorted us all out. The Captain went out and got us all breakfast showing compassion for us all. Well done to all for making things go as smoothly as possibly. The rescue crew looked after us very well also. About to land in Perth shortly"
And another quote on facebook:
"Shoutout to the incredible Courtney C. ground staff at Kalgoorlie Boulder airport who looked after passengers so well on their overnight. Such a hard worker (she has only had 3 days off in the last 12months).

So it sounds like they did what they could for the pax during their unexpected stay at KGI airport.
