So definitely HUACA, and have the two snippets of rules ready to quote to the CSR.

FWIW, I have ticketed with QF in the past, and never had a problem changing dates for no charge.

I have purchased an ex-CAI DONE4, starting next month. In due course I will need to change dates (dates towards the end of my itinerary are dummy dates). So I'm interested in the outcome here.

A final ploy might be to mention the "A triple C" (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission). The ACCC has recently fined Qantas for selling tickets for non-existent flights; so mention of the ACCC might trigger some positive action.
