I think it's more about who do you allow to operate during the curfew. Why do freight airlines get a commercial benefit when the Middle East carriers or domestic airlines don't. In reality the Liberal Government should have just said no.
It might also have been a covert test of the curfew itself. Allow a dispensation on grounds of the pandemic and monitor how much pushback you get. I notice that Morrison has even hinted in his letter at not having a curfew. Personally I think there should be but it needs to stand as a blanket curfew to all operations not just hand power to the bureaucracy with exemption after exemption creeping in, which I think is Morrison's point.
I imagine there is alot going on in the background on this issue on so many fronts that it could go in any direction.
