Really nothing from the EU scheme, even though my flight was LHR->SYD and I will arrive at SYD 24 hours late?

I was hoping DXB would be classed as just a refuel/pitstop gone wrong under these circumstances.

Would this be the same if we'd had to divert somewhere else en route to SYD because of a tech issue?

I was hoping (maybe naively) that the delay would be all about when I resched SYD not when I left LHR

Thanks anyway
