The Department of Immigration allows Flight Attendants entry on a Special Purpose Visa that allowed them to stay in Australia for 30 days. All they worry about is making sure they leave. Jetstar then found out that when these Flight Attendants left to do a service(Honolulu for example) this 30 days was reset. Wonderful precedent for Fly-In Fly-Out mine workers if attempted by the mining industry. Tragedy for Australian workers however. Lucky there is lots of coffee shops for Aussies to work in cause there will be nothing else. The next challenge is for the Tax Department however a Jetstar Flight Attendant earns less than the minimal taxable salary($15000), therefore tax-free.
