Seems unlikely to me, unless it’s with a stop and QR get 5th freedom rights.

This is behind a paywall, but: Wouldn't, say, OOL make more sense if they were going to add another route to Australia outside the four limited ports (and assuming WSI is treated common with SYD when it opens)? Unless they were thinking of using maybe an A330 and it's a range issue? Whatever DRW market exists seems like it could be routed through DPS or SIN.
