Qantas crew resting across chairs in economy with passengers
The cabin crew of a Qantas A330 was made to sleep across seats in the economy cabin among customers, with an improvised blanket overhead to block out the light, according to photographs obtained by Australian Aviation.

It looks like a case of Qantas using a short-haul aircraft on long-haul flights, so there is no designated crew rest area. This is against the employment deal, so the crew complains. Qantas then uses Kiwi crews who are on a different deal.

Absolutely correct & even more true when u are dealing with a ceo whose sole ambition is to bust any union he can & has been well taught by his buddy in Willie Walsh.
