If your going to go down that road EK could do it with enough capital to wipe out both QF & VA
why on earth would you want an OZ registered aircraft ? A New Zealand registered aircraft with a NZL AOC is far superior for domestic OZ ops. Far less to do with CASA. (think you might only have to tell CASA what you're dong, not ask for any "permissions. Please correct me,if I'm wrong)
Also, remember during pilots dispute, foreign carriers were allowed to sell seats domestically in OZ. It only takes a stroke of a pollies pen.
