Where am I wrong as I wander?

I think the actual law in Brazil only technically applies to fares originating in Brazil, a few airlines just didn't implement their fares that way.

So the way I interpret it is that with these changes Qantas can scoot around the mistake they made...possibly?

I guess we'll find out!
