Nope. I don't think any jets may it, only turbo-props as far as I understand.

Does that mean technically it would be possible for QF Link to run a nightime redeye shuttle into Sydney with the turbo prop fleet?

I imagine there is plenty of unmet demand from rural NSW for such flights

Ha ha yes, hence the technically asking part of the question.

Q400's flying in from non curfew restricted airports (what is Melbourne's?) over night at discounted rates....?!
