On Friday, Qantas provided answers to questions on notice asked by the Senate committee investigating the Qatar air rights affair.“We understand we need to earn your trust back not with what we say but what we do and how we behave,”
This is dissembling 101. Answer a question you haven’t been asked. Reframe the question to one you couldn’t possibly respond to. We have the highest ethics – try a spritz of our new humility cologne! – and yes, we might have provided public officials with secret gratuities, but that’s really a matter for them to disclose in their pecuniary interest register. It’s just terrific.Remember that Qantas considers itself an arm of government when it wants protectionist policy settings or free money but a private company when any transparency is required of it.
They’ll say, “if we did provide freebies, it’s up to Albo to disclose them himself”. Except he didn’t. Maybe Albo will declare any free flights when he declares the Chairman’s Lounge memberships of his girlfriend and his son?The Prime Minister trotted out his son on Saturday for a photo opportunity at a polling booth for the Voice referendum. Albo and Qantas often find themselves on a unity ticket and it turns out that selective privacy concerns are another thing they share.
