I think if you look back through history you will see the moment Qantas is in negotiations with the maintenance unions that every little glitch with their aircraft tends to make it into the mainstream media, along with a comment from said union leaders about the importance of keeping maintenance on-shore etc. I certainly don't think it is a co-incidence.
A good case in point is the issue with the cracked 737 windsheild a few weeks back, followed by the cracked windsheild that delayed a 747 flights a bit later.
