No they 6 are still off work.
The Qantas group are ruthless in their persecution of those who don't assist them with their game of hide the sausage from the regulators. They have all now received letters from Freehills law firm (the ones who wrote little Johnnies workplace laws) and Qantas will be doing everything to defend their position of punishing employees who do terrible things such as reporting defects that they don't want anyone to know about.
I know management read this site. Let me make one thing clear. If you harm our brothers any further I will be calling on our Aviation Federation, our Pilot friends and the entire industry to get behind these LAMEs who have just done what the CARs require of them. It will be number one item on every news outlet in this country and your reputation will suffer.
cheers
