P.S. Let me tell you what will kill Qantas: Employee turnover. It may not even be turnover within the Qantas organisation, it may be in one of the outsourced services.
This is already a problem for many independent GHS companies. Dudes need to be trained up, they stay for a while, realise the pay and conditions are pretty average and aviation isn't the glamorous game it's cracked up to be... so if they're decent, they leave. Off to the mines, the good construction companies and any number of decent businesses that need people to move heavy stuff or make sandwiches in bulk, and value their efforts accordingly.
The GHS company needs dudes/dudettes, so they get some more. Need to be trained up, stay for a while... and the cycle continues. The outcome is a company staffed by newbies and people who can't get jobs elsewhere. The upshot is a lot more incidents, slower work, lost bags and general mayhem and chaos.
Of course not all GHS companies are bad to work for and they don't all have these problems, but anyone who's kicked around the ramp for a while has noticed the decline in expertise and standards since subcontracting and casualization have increased over the last decade. Does it affect the bottom line? Probably not, so who cares; until it's your bag that ends up in a ditch or your aircraft that gets delayed for four hours because someone bashed into it with a catering truck. 
Over the weekend a Qantas manager who is a LAME certified for aircraft maintenance checks on a plane several hours before the aircraft had even landed. He then went home and left the signed up package in the section.
That takes Working From Home to a whole new and scary level.
