I have nothing but admiration for the crew in getting the aircraft back on the ground.

However, with the questions being asked at the Qld flood inquiry in relation to operators (pilots?) following Operations Manuals to the inth degree, will pilots in future have any latitude in not completing checklists for all the items that appear as faults on an electronic checklist (or however presented), even though completing all checklists may result in the loss of the aircraft due to time/fuel/CofG constraints.
