I haven't checked the vessel's registry, but I suspect it is probably registered in Panama, US owned, British Master, German Engineers, Filipino, Chinese and Sri Lankan crew. I doubt any, from the Master down, have valid Australian Visas which entitles them to work in Australia.
Could that crew get off in Brisbane, change to an AUSTRALIAN REGISTERED ship and sail it to Sydney ? I doubt it.
