The airline has a responsibility to get the PAX to SY airport.
Without going into too much detail, (and with very little assistance from a recalcitrant OPSO,who dropped the ball and just wanted to go home), I managed to get a couple of cabs there. Some got friends/family to pick them up, and the lazy OPSO eventually phoned QF Transport and got a bus to bring the remaining PAX and crew back to SY. We arrived back about 0345. You can work the rest out.
As for the ethnic remarks, I won't go there. Suffice to say there was no sign of life on the airport, apart from a night shift in the Pac Av hangar. I didn't feel unsafe at any stage.
