    Article: The National Carrier Stigma

    More often than not Qantas cabin crew are not employed by Qantas and there have not been any cabin crew Qantas direct hire for many years. Customer call centres are not employed by Qantas So, Im not sure how an "Australian voice" makes any difference. What is an Australian voice for that matter...

    And once you take out the RAD, there may not be much left. Though some would argue that if you need a RAD, then discretionary spends would drastically reduce. It is important to have the RAD because even though the Guvment guarantees Aged care placed to everyone who needs it, having the RAD...

The comment was more a reply to a previous comment - that if its good for the goose (pre - retirement $3M) its also good for the gander (post retirement $3M). Whatever the tax treatment - iniquitous as it is, it is even more iniquitous when...

    Except there is no limit to the total super balance I think you will find that judges will/may be exempt due to a constitutional provision for judges remuneration. And they are surprisingly quiet about federal pollies. State pollies are apparently exempt.

    Sure - the thing though is that it is not exactly a surprise to Govt. They could have put a cap many years ago.

    Qantas to outsource ground handling across Australia

    The legal case still ongoing: From the The Australian. The timeline so far... The Judge was also not convinced that Qantas was "sorry" now because when it was "sorry" in 2024 Qantas was proposing no compensation because the out sourcing would have still eventually happened🤣
