Put quite simply there is only one thing pertinent here, the behavior of the manager in question and the actions he took after an employee legitimately requested remuneration he was entitled to by law.
The rest is irrelevant.
The choice was made by one person, the rest is in the court transcripts.

Hey Magoo, I sincerely hope that you are not inferring Licka to be an unreasonable employee. I have both worked and socialised with Licka in years past and I can tell you (as many others would, both inside and outside of the flying rat) that he is a fair and reasonable man, a pleasure to work with, and his ethics are beyond reproach. As for PC, I wouldn't know him from a bar of soap, so no comment there. You say that PC was set up, so, quoting from a famous Aussie Ranga ---- PLEASE EXPLAIN !!!!!

Magoo you say PC was setup from the beginning............ this I find to be nothing but a load of 
, but thanks for a good laugh. It doesn't take the smartest bloke to realise that this was obviously not the case. Maybe if your mate, had followed the correct proceedures and policies in the first place, he wouldn't have found himself in this position. After all that's what they are there for, to protect both managers and employees alike.
I think it's beautiful and sets a warning to all managers, if you wanna act like an assclown be prepared to be treated like one.
Hopefully next time a manager will think twice before they try to make up their own rules and regulations, or try to deny a bloke something that he's entitled to.
Keep up the good work Fed Sec

Don't forget the general conduct of QE management in general. Even after they ignored LM's case during their 'robust' internal investigation, they spared no expense to crucify Luke and our Ass'n.
Their new chant of fairness and transparency is both a mockery and insult to their 'engaged' Lame's.
During the court case, I heard there was a round the clock presence of QE managers watching their counterparts sink in their loose interpretation of events. GH must be very proud of his men.

Qantas facing fine over 'bullying' judgment - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Qantas facing fine over 'bullying' judgment
Updated May 04, 2012 22:59:26
Qantas is facing a fine after it lost an appeal against a judgment over the company's treatment of one of its aircraft engineers.
The Federal Court has upheld a judgment that the airline and a manager breached the Fair Work Act after the engineer tried to claim for more than 120 hours he said he worked while posted in Japan.
The court has found the manager pressured the engineer to drop the claim.
Steve Purvinas from the Aircraft Engineers Association says the next step will be to decide on a penalty for what he says amounted to bullying.
"It goes back to the Federal Magistrates Court to work out what the penalties against Qantas and their manager are going to be," he said.

I wonder why this one couldn't be resolved internally under the dispute res procedure?
Well done to all the guys who have stood up to these mongrels and well done to the ALAEA for their persistence and support of its members.

How sad it is that the manager at the centre of this now pathetic episode now has the title of "Business Improvement Manager " in Sydney. No slap on the wrist from his superiors just a pat on the back and " better luck next time, oh and by the way, the company will pick up the tab".
