A320 NPAs in Final App with FD guidance to touch down?

I stumbled across a youtube video showing an A320 flying a RNP RF approach to Brisbane runway 19. They fly the approach in Final App with flight director guidance. No minimums are entered into the box and the flight directors are on right until touchdown which seems very odd to me, with a downgrade to the basic modes occurring down over the threshold.

Is this an approved procedure in Australia, or just a bit gash? I'm not trying to point fingers, but am just genuinely wondering if this is SOP?
