Episode Details

Over 1,800 former Qantas employees still waiting for $160 million in unpaid compensation after being unlawfully let go more than five years ago — the law firm handling the case is asking the court for a delay until October to finalize individual payouts, citing the complexity of fairly distributing funds from a $120 million pool. Many claimants, like Tony Mora, are frustrated, having made financial plans based on imminent payments, even taking out loans. The court also imposed a $90 million penalty on Qantas, with $40 million earmarked for these workers — but that can’t be distributed until the main compensation scheme is settled. The firm says it’s working with experts to ensure fairness, while the union urges faster action without compromising integrity.
