A330 undercarriage

Noticed the last 2 days in a row now, Jetstar A330 taking off from runway
34L in YSSY, left it undercarriage down after tkof. It was still down well after the left hand turn on the SID today.
Is it simply to allow the brakes to cool after a long taxi or is there some other reason for this?
I have seen a Cathay A330 do the same, but he took off on 16R, so not so long a taxi.
