Wow : QF price rises
Just looking at fares for SYD-MEL in July and the QF site is quoting the same fare for economy and business on some flights with the bargain basement price of $11,016 one way ( e.g. 25 July )

At least it is reasonable at about 0.077% which is fair percentage

Any Screenshots of this?
I can't find any of these prices. They are now coming up at around $100ish per flight in July.

If, by some bizarre chance, somebody actually booked a fare at the $11k price, would Qantas give them a refund - assuming the system actually worked during the glitch!

Only if it was a refundable fare .... But selling the story to the media may well cover the cost of the fare.

Well.... Can you imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth on FT if an airline refused to honour a mistake fare

Or to quote web site glitches and post them with no sense of irony.
