surrendering fifth freedoms to Arab ME carriers, for nothing
Australian airlines have the right to fly local passengers between the UAE/Qatar and other countries, they just choose not to, except QF that flies DXB-LHR twice a day.
Also Australian airlines have exactly the same rights to traffic on routes to the ME3, they could fly 21 flights a week out of SYD/MEL/BNE/PER out of each port and an unlimited number from DRW/ADL/CNS etc.
