Episode description

Skyrocketing ticket prices, massive profits and soaring pay packets. What’s with Qantas?

Qantas boss Alan Joyce faced a parliamentary grilling this week, but was unconvincing in his defence of Qantas’ huge profits, not to mention his huge payslip.

In this episode of the Briefing, Tom interviews Senator Jane Hume, one of the MPs confronting Mr Joyce to find out why the Albanese government is hellbent on stopping airlines like Qatar from increasing flight numbers.

Is it just a cozy deal with the national airline, or a genuine attempt to protect “national interests”

 

Headlines:

  • Qantas under fire
  • Trump pleads "not guilty" in Georgia
  • House prices up again
