Question: With total respect and no pun intended.. If you did a visual propeller check before flight, would you have seen the issues at hand? Or was it something that happened after flight take off?

Thanks for sharing your regretful experience. Easy to become complacent, so this will sharpen my awareness.
All the best with the repair. Appreciated, and stay safe mate from Down Under.
