I've flown on maybe 20 SYD-MEL sectors this year and always had the cup either on the half tray of death or the box of death. I can't imagine a flight without one or the other. What annoys me though is that SOME snack flights on cityflyer get a box and tea/coffee service, while others get a full drink service (ie: yes, I can have a coke..). I mean at 1500 I might want a cold coke. Just because QF calls it "afternoon tea" does that mean I can't have my coke?
