VB's last flight DJ899 MEL-SYD made it in we turned the aircraft in 19mins

reported in media (and notoriously untrustworthy as 3 controllers who took sick day on the afternoon shift

A couple of aircraft just finished/ still holding south again tonight.

MAS141
SQ219
QFA764
QFA32

AVN35, QFA456 - Now on their way in.

Also think UPS 38 was holding off the east coast earlier.

Is this due to the earlier weather or staff shortages or just the usual sunday night traffic?

HAL 451 diverted to Brissie.

Now due into Sydney at 930pm, hopefully.
