It would seem that what is happening today is that the cabin crews are working in Australia contrary to their entry visa limitations.
That is a very serious allegation - how can you substantiate that allegation?

It is a criminal offence under the Migration Act 1958 for a person to knowingly or recklessly allow an illegal worker to work or refer an illegal worker for work with another business.

From 19 August 2007 it became a criminal offence under the Migration Act 1958 for a person to knowingly or recklessly:
  • allow an illegal worker to work
  • refer an illegal worker for work with another business.
Individuals who are convicted of these offences face fines of up to $13 200 and two years imprisonment while companies face fines of up to $66 000 per illegal worker.
If, from comments here, Flight JQ62 is a Jetstar Asia/Jetstar Australia code share flight SIN-DRW-MEL and regardless of a change of aircraft from foreign to Australian registration (if that occurred), I suspect the presence of foreign CC would not contravene any DIAC regulations. Indeed, you may well find Jetstar Asia have Australian domestic flight sector rights with foreign registered aircraft, as has Air New Zealand and possibly other foreign carriers.

Care to substantiate your allegations?

I think this thread is a bit of a wind up!
