QF583 diversion into YPAD this morning.
Around 1 AM I was listening to the scanner & heard Centre asking QF583 if they wanted full emergency services on arrival into YPAD. Aircraft was partway out across the bight en route from YSSY to YPPH when it diverted. The last couple of transmissions I heard from the aircraft before it switched frequencies was that it was maintaining 10,000. I'm wondering if it was a pressurisation problem. Watching the replay of the track on FlightAware is interesting!

Just as I thought!
And this: Incident: Qantas A332 near Adelaide on Feb 4th 2021, loss of cabin pressure
By Simon Hradecky, created Thursday, Feb 4th 2021 16:57Z, last updated Thursday, Feb 4th 2021 16:57ZA Qantas Airbus A330-200, registration VH-EBK performing flight QF-583 from Sydney,NS to Perth,WA (Australia), was enroute at FL400 about 380nm west of Adelaide,SA (Australia) when the crew initiated an emergency descent to 10,000 feet due to the loss of cabin pressure. The crew advised they would vacate the runway and once clear of the runway would stop for an inspection by emergency services. The aircraft turned around and diverted to Adelaide for a safe landing on runway 23 about 70 minutes later. Emergency services reported everything looked normal both sides of the aircraft. The aircraft taxied to the apron.
