NZ1197 was operated by B787-9 ZK-NZJ which also operated a similar flight a week earlier arriving in MEL on 5/7/21. Last weeks' flight operated AKL-CHC-LAX-MEL-LAX-AKL and it looks as though this weeks' flight is following the same pattern with NZ1196 returning to LAX tomorrow.

I can't find any reference to the flight on the MEL arrivals board so it must be a freight flight.

Weekly freight flight. Started last week which is part of the governments Freight assistance scheme. Seems to have replaced United which stopped on 2nd July.

Qantas 787-9 VH-ZNC is en-route Brisbane to Fairbanks, Alaska as QF6041 - another one off - reason?
