I'm not sure what the fifth freedom rights are about revenue passengers from SYD-HNL (not sure I have the right freedom there), but if that's possible, this could make a lot of sense for WestJet.
For thru traffic, that stop in HNL was barbaric. Get off the plane, get your bags, go through US immigration, get back on the plans...all in the middle of the night. No thanks. Non-stop wins.
