“Power affects people”: Joe Aston on his new book about Qantas

Joe Aston’s name rings out in business, politics, and media circles. If you know him, it’s probably from his time writing Rear Window for the Australian Financial Review. Joe took over the column in 2012, making it a feared and revered staple—landing a mention in Rear Window likely meant you’d found yourself on the wrong side of Joe’s sharp pen.
