Hi there,
That guy had it wrong, her flight details are depart Brisbane with a
stopover in Sydney before heading for Bali. It would have been placed in her
bag in Brisbane so that it could have been collected by a baggage handler in
Sydney...but that never happened. Ipso facto...she got caught up in the
event.
It is important to note that there has been increased surveilance of
vehicles crossing State borders in the last couple of years.
cheers.
