In the period before the shutdown, unions had taken well-orchestrated stoppages that created a lot of uncertainty with the travelling public. Forward bookings literally fell off the cliff. The only real option available to QF was to take the action that it did. The travelling public required and deserved certainty. It's interesting to note that it didn't take long after certainty was assured that the forwards started to look healthy.

Call me and others idiots if you wish should you have another point of view but doing so says more about you than others.
