It sounded as though the flight was given preferential take-off priority to avoid busting ADL curfew....can ATC do that?

Word (allegedly) came from the Airservices National Operations Centre in Canberra that the Adelaide jets had to jump the queue. No idea who actually made that decision, but there were a few upset pilots, especially considering others in the queue were departing for Brisbane or Melbourne and had to come back to beat the Sydney curfew anyway!
