If I booked through Qantas I would expect to be put on an alternative flight with F, assuming one was available. I think LAX - SYD - MEL would be a reasonable alternative flight if F was removed from LAX - MEL.
QF outline this in section 4.7 of their Conditions of Carriage and would form the basis for me asking for a reroute:
"If We need to ask You to downgrade for any reason, We will at Your Option ... accommodate You on a reasonable alternative available flight on Our services."
