I've read in the past in various FT fora that Qantas sometimes makes up its own rules. I don't think that there's anything that IATA can, will, or would do. I don't see this as an IATA issue. Your situation sounds a lot like dealing with Immigration when entering Thailand after landing at BKK. The rules are whatever the Immigration officer you're standing in front of says they are.

AUD 900 sounds pretty steep to me.

I find this curious/interesting. Would you mind reproducing the fare ladder for us?
