Clear encroachment from both teams so the pen should have been re-taken. 
Correct, penalty retake there (whether goal scored or not from penalty).

Also dropped ball at 60.28, should have been done again by referee as player (Speckmaier) touched the ball before it hit the ground and play continued.
(Note too, Piney in commentary stating Speckmaier may have a shot at goal as it was just outside the penalty area. From a dropped ball restart for a goal to be scored it must be touched by two players now (it used to be possible for one player only, but laws have changed)). If Speckmaier had shot directly into the goal, then it's a goal-kick (or corner-kick, for own goal). 

4th official holding up 1 off / 12 on for Foster / Edwards after Foster's red card, was corrected quickly to the appropriate 6 off / 12 on for Fraser / Edwards.

Judging by the amount of 'heavy contact" from the lower arm/hand, that could really have been life threatening.

The way the Canberra player went down, I was waiting for the sound of a 50 Calibur being fired.

No way did the referee see any of that other than a player diving towards the deck. Sucked in brilliantly and poetic justice when Bri saved the penalty. "Don't worry, Bri Happy!"

Jesus watched it again just now on the news.

If that's a red card then this weekends men's football is gonna suck as with all the normal jostling in the box VAR will have to step in and red so many players.

Good thing it clearly isn't a red and the ref got it wrong which is why both parties agreed to the lowest possible middle ground to save time and paperwork.
