I understood the captain was the ultimate arbiter of who flew and who did not, how would this have played out in Aus?

They’d be off. Belligerent and rude is enough.

Why does AirNZ not have a no-mask-no-fly condition in their T's and C's of carraige. QF says no double vax no flying internationally and its a condition of carriage. QF also says masks are compulsory domestically. Those that cannot or will not comply should mean they travel by road. If they want to be difficult then they can be treated accordingly. Of course NZ has had their own way of dealing with ever aspect of Covid. Its about respecting and protecting others, not what suits them.

There is no rubber footwear involved.
