I'm just at a loss to understand why anyone would believe Qantas every time they have an incident and declare "This is not a safety issue".

The 32 was a major incident due to the uncontained engine failure.

Since then, from all accounts, another failure occured for the same reason.

I'm not aware of any modification that has since been carried out on those engines to strenghen the containment of engine components that let go.

I think it's time for some people to wake up. The blame game has to end and the heads need to come out of the sand. The engine issues are the tip of the iceberg
