Yeah, I too find it odd that this incident didn't register on any Oz media radar.
Could I be forgiven for thinking that maybe QF mgmnt (larf) might just be surreptitiously alerting certain media outlets when an incident happens on a red-tailed aircraft ???
This would, of course, be deliberate "damaging the brand" (how dare I say such a thing) but would be consistent with previous garbage emanating from AJ etc., such as calling QF pilots "kamikazes"...and making extreme efforts to alienate QF workforce.
If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would strongly suspect that QF mgmnt & board are actively working to further the degradation of QF with the end-game being to finally get their hands on the entity at a bargain-basement price. If you want to buy a listed company, you want the share price to be low don't you ???
Should I believe in conspiracies ???
