A Qantas flight attendant sacked for downing a quarter of a bottle of vodka during an international flight has lost her appeal.that she was unfairly fired after admitting to drinking company booze during an 11-hour flight from Sydney to Johannesburg in July.
Qantas said it had sacked Mrs Warr for drinking its alcohol while “employed in a safety critical role”, but also for lying about it. Mrs Warr repeatedly denied she did, insisting she purchased the vodka at a duty free store at Sydney International Airport before the July 25 flight. But on October 16, she finally admitted that “she had been dishonest during the investigation” and had “taken and consumed company alcohol on board flight QF63”.She filed a complaint with the Fair Work Commission, claiming her dismissal was unfair because it didn’t account for her 31 years of good service, she wasn’t given a warning and it was disproportionate to her misconduct.“Mrs Warr had a long and exemplary record of service with Qantas.
31 years of service and learned nothing? Wow!

Crisis Brexit cabinet after divided Commons fails again | Sky News AustraliaTheresa May and her bitterly divided cabinet will meet for five hours of crisis talks in a desperate attempt to salvage her EU withdrawal agreement after MPs rejected four variations of a 'soft Brexit'.\n\nWith options including no deal, a general election and a second referendum on the table, ministers will hold a three-hour 'political cabinet' without civil servants present and then discuss government business for a further two hours.\n\nAccording to The Times, Philip Hammond, the chancellor, will tell the cabinet the government has to make its own compromise proposal or admit parliament has failed 'and put it back to the people in a referendum' since the party and the country cannot afford an election.\n\nMr Hammond said on Sophy Ridge on Sunday on Sky News last month that a second referendum was a 'perfectly coherent proposition' that 'deserves to be considered'.\n\nThere is also speculation that Mrs May could bring back a vote on her deal to the Commons for a fourth time and link it with a confidence motion in the government, which many MPs believe would be a kamikaze move.\n\n\n\n All Stay MPs and their Corrupt Public Servants should be Charged with Treason for not passing what was Democratically Voted for by the Citizens they Represent. May & Corbyn would be at the top of the list
