All QF (mainline) are BCF only equipped (for hand extinguishers, i presume it is halon in cargo and engines). Airlines in Aust have an exemption to the banning of BCF, primarily because it is so effective/versatile (only not used on magnesium fires) on a Jet and so infrequently used (apparently). QF used to have water extinguishers too (manufactured by Kiddie?) but have not had them for a while.
