Qantas boss’s subtle dig at Western Australia

The Qantas boss appeared at Sydney Airport on Friday morning, alongside the Prime Minister and NSW Premier, to outline when the nation’s largest air carrier would return to the skies internationally.

WA Premier Mark McGowan has been criticised by other state leaders for his tough border stance that includes listing NSW as an “extreme risk” location, meaning people can’t enter the state for compassionate reasons even if they quarantine for two weeks. Mr Joyce also revealed Qantas flights would be brought forward, with routes between Sydney and international destinations like Singapore and Johannesburg to resume months earlier than planned.Mr Joyce said the airline was preparing to exit the “darkest period” in its 100-year history.

Flights from Sydney to London have already been pencilled in from November 1 when borders open to NSW, while several others routes have now been added to the list.They include return travel to Delhi, Singapore, Fiji, Johannesburg, Bangkok and Phuket.

Hail Emperor Alan Joyce! I saw that speech of yours today, with your two 2nd in command behind you - the Prime Minister & Premier of Australia. You've piled pressure on to open borders & have no quarantine The media complies with your aims Every variant will soon come in.

Good luck. Won't be travelling for a while yet. I look forward to seeing my own State when everyone else goes flying. No rush and see how it all goes.

Good luck to anyone planning on holidaying overseas, unless the insurance industry comes to the party with policies that offer proper covid cover. Have not seen any that are worth the paper they are printed on, but happy to be pointed in the right direction. Traveller beware!

He has undermined the Australian response to the pandemic. He still undermines the WA response. A great ally to the LNP and its trumpeters. If it was not for the Premiers, there would be about 50,000 less Australians today.

GF Joyce

next crisis can we just liquidate QAN's equity to zero so the gov't can buy it back for 1c rather than propping them up with our billions.

No one cares
