Fatigue ?
QF procedure is that doors on all aircraft are opened from the outside by groundstaff after receiving thumbs up.
My take on this is that the CSM/Purser rotated the door handle instead of disarming the door.
A new CSM/Purser(unfamiliarity) would not have spent any time at left one on any aircraft.
The person was either lacking in adequate training or fatigued.
There is a third option: The CSM/Purser asked a flight attendant to disarm the door.
The only sector on a 767 operated by international CC is SYD/HNL
