Reading the general discourse between various parties it appears that: (a) the answer to the thread is "No", CASA won't suspend the JQ AOC, probably due to 'Regulatory Capture' more than anything else.
(b) the incident was probably due to those dreaded RNP approaches, well dreaded if you stuff them up anyway!
Imagine for a moment if you had to do a similar approach without all these extra defences, whizbang technology, excellent training etc and without a fully competent crewmember beside you...hmm sound familiar!
Its about now that everyone should grab a caffeine fix or a bex and take the time to read this 2006 ATSB report on RNP approaches:

I hesitate a guess that some of you contributed to the 2005 ATSB survey??
Now take a look at this incident that came perilously close to disaster:

Cumulus Granatis is very unforgiving, careful out there these RNP approaches can be a killer!
