Qantas: the spirit of corporate greed
Description
Qantas’s luck has gone from bad to worse.
The airline has had to ditch expiry dates for Covid credits, and faced questions over its prices and tickets allegedly sold for flights that had already been cancelled.
Meanwhile, the government is accused of unfairly propping up Qantas and putting its profits ahead of consumers’ interests.

Today, senior reporter for The Saturday Paper Rick Morton, on chaos at Qantas and whether the government is too cosy with our national carrier.
