The event may be twelve months old but the article has only just come to light and I didn't see anywhere where WITWIW refered to NL. As far as muck raking WITWIW even says it was probably to do with bad reporting and was simply asking what did happen. If it was a HF failure as stated then Oz must have bad radioes as the same thing recently happened on one of their former Solomons flights. Me thinks you are a bit too touchy and should read some of HL's threads if you want to see some muck raking.
