I think there are a few things that have happened that have lead to the crackdown. Here one from CASA
Cabin Safety Bulletin No. 8 - Carry-on baggage
cannot be stowed appropriately, including use of baggage test units/weight scales; and procedure for removal; tagging and transporting as checked luggage
The issue is 'cannot be stowed appropriately'. I would argue weight is not the problem. Size could be.
Unless there is a fault QF knows about regarding the new overhead lockers. But that would be a much bigger legal issue for them.
