You seem to be thinking what happens on USA airline will happen on other airlines: the real world does not work that way.
The words "discounted fare class tickets" have no real meaning.
QF (like other airlines) sell a range booking fare class's that have different t&c's. A ticket issued by AA may have different t&c's for the same booking class on QF flight.
