Should QANTAS change their fuel policy?

QF2

interesting way that QF2 did NOT declare a fuel emergency, just a laconic statement to say we've got no gas to go anywhere else, so we're just gunna autoland.

I wonder what protections were in place to guarantee a suitable ILS signal - no other aircraft taxiing or being towed or safety cars parked near antennas, etc.
