Queensland Rail is not responsible for ticketing on suburban trains. Fares 
and ticket conditions are set by Translink - QR just run the trains.

Also, Airtrain is a private operation and is not QR or Translink - they set 
their own fares and conditions.

So you should complain to Translink 
(http://www.translink.com.au/qt/TransLin.nsf/index/contactus) and Airtrain 
(http://www.airtrain.com.au/contactus.php).
