From the Age report...

But Qantas' head of engineering David Cox said the airline had adequate checking mechanisms in place to deal with such issues.
"We're still running an investigation on this so I guess I need to make sure I don't get ahead of ourselves here," he told Southern Cross Broadcasting.
"But near as I can understand this, the system functioned with that repair and that's why it was missed.
"Last night, I was on the phone to the Singapore engineering company people to talk through 'OK, how did you miss that?'. We'll run that one to ground."
Gee...might want to think about your answers next time mate!
