It eventually took off at 1318 and arrived at 1359 ADL time.

Yep.
Was “too late” for him to come to work so they took arvo off

I'm guessing that the very heavy rain in SYD is responsible for domestic delays on Thursday 11 September.

B738 VH-VUJ is operating VA414, the 1010 hours SYD across to ADL: it was in a queue for takeoff as at 1205 hours.

VA68,, the redeye DPS-SYD, has diverted and just landed in DRW around 5.15 local time. Having spent just over an hour on the ground there the aircraft should arrive in SYD approx 3 hrs behind schedule

Apparently due to staff shortages at Sydney Airport, Airservices Australia has been limiting flights to four minutes apart since 1000 hours and has cancelled any takeoffs between 1530 and 1600 hours today, Friday 12 September.

In an example of Friday 12 delays, VA845 with B738 VH_YFU arrived ex MEL in SYD at 1440 hours, 15 minutes late. Its next flight is the 1500 hours SYD-MEL (VA850) altered to depart at 1545, so expected MEL arrival (subject to no further delays) should be at about 1705-1715 instead of 1635. (I may be underestimating the delays).
