Practice your impersonations moreIf I HUACA enough, can I get to the real QF Call Centre (C-suite)?

Fordham: Did you ever text Alan Joyce about flight upgrades?
Albanese: No.
Fordham: Did you ever email Alan Joyce about flight upgrades?
Albanese: No.
Fordham: Did you ever share with Alan Joyce any flights or travel plans without specifically asking for an upgrade?
Albanese: No.
Fordham: Was there someone else at Qantas you were seeking upgrades from or sharing your travel plans with?
Albanese: No.
That's also been reported and "much worse" would be a rather large stretch, so feel free to add any other examples. It is true of course for High Court judges though, but they tend not to be a target for lobbyists unsurprisingly.Agree, there are current MPs who have done much worse to QF who still hold membership.

This is a Labor MPs description of the Labor Party not "going soft" on Qantas:
"I encourage people to look at Anthony Albanese's record as the transport minister, leader of the opposition and prime minister when it comes to Qantas, where he hasn't played favourites," Senator Watt said.
"When he was the transport minister more than a decade ago, when Qantas grounded their fleet and went after unions, Anthony Albanese took Qantas on about that.
"In opposition, when Qantas illegally sacked their workforce despite receiving nearly a billion dollars in JobKeeper, Anthony Albanese and Labor took Qantas on about that … we've brought in Same Job, Same Pay laws, which have already helped Qantas labour hire workers get pay rises of more than $30,000 in some cases."
There's not of meat on that bone, particularly in the context of the Qatar decision.
Labor minister says PM 'hasn't played favourites' with Qantas despite flight perks
A Labor frontbencher says the government hasn't gone easy on Qantas just because ministers, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, have received free upgrades and other perks from the airline.www.abc.net.au
The political optics suggest that cancelling BM's CL membership would be a PR disaster as it would make it plain to the everyone that CL membership is subject to the member's political views and QF would use the CL membership as a stick if a member criticises the airline.Bridget McKenzie.
Bridget McKenzie.
Sure, if you consider 'asking questions QF would rather not answer', to be "much worse". She hasn't won a single battle against Qantas nor affected its operations. QF don't have a good reason to revoke her CL. Might be interesting if there's a change of gov at the next election though.

Which, frankly, is exactly as it should be (assuming CL is going to be provided to political figures). To do otherwise would be a PR cluster#$%& on Qantas' behalf.As far as its public knowledge CL is given to every MP regardless of party.
JA could only dream of this much free advertising for the book

Yes, even the most junior pollie is worthy of cultivsting. You never know when in future years they might end up as, for instance, the transport minister.Which, frankly, is exactly as it should be (assuming CL is going to be provided to political figures).

I agree that the response and rebuttal has been very badly handled.I am not sure they do.
For something that could be an innocent mistake, the PM has spent considerable time in denial, including some carefully crafted pressers.
I haven't read the book; however, it's the second one I thought I would buy but have been unable.
His book was launched in Sydney the other night. There was an very strong lineup of luminaries from all sorts of walks of life. I hope he got a good deal on the book from his publisher. I reckon it would be flying off the shelves right now.
But as I said the thing about the former transport minister is only a couple of paragraphs towards the back half of the book. He does take shots at many politicians certainly including the ones on the other side of the political divide.
I think the person happiest about all this would be Alan Joyce

Or just simply that AJ didn't like CP blocking the privatisation legislation....Maybe Clive did something similar?

Why Jacqui Lambie has been banned from Qantas for six months
The ban followed an incident at the front desk of the Chairman’s Lounge in Melbourne.www.smh.com.au
Bridget McKenzie hasn’t lost hers so I’d say every other MP is safe as long as they don’t go full Lambie at the staff.
I don’t know the history of Bridget McKenzie attacking Qantas
But the Lambie and Palmer episodes show the politicians that displease Qantas can be evicted from the House.
That link was JL being banned from QF for 6 months after she went ballistic when told she could not access the CLCan you give us a few snippets?
