As revealed in the report, the flight was operating with degraded flight controls
Another gem of journalistic ignorance of by the sensationalist mob from Crikey.com. The report did not mention any degredation of flight controls, nor was most of the rest of the article of any relevance to the Qantas incident.
P.S. Too bad he didn't read today's Daily Telegraph reporting a Qantas Link Dash 8 landing without nosegear at Rockhampton that actually never happened. Apparently they carried out an alternate nose gear extension and the flight landed without incident,
