Dragger ol' chum. I was really responding to this bit;
In a first for Australia, Qantas customers will soon be able to .check-in themselves and their baggage at state-of-the-art, self-service kiosks.
After seeing the pics, it doesn't sound like they can put their bags in & tag them on their own, just like AN did. The inference of the article was that it was fully up to the punter.
BTW, we got electricity here too you know!
