One of the complaints levelled against the Indigenous #VoiceToParliament is that the proposed #Voice will institutionalise unequal access to parliamentary attention, with some people having more avenues to exercise influence than others.

This has typically struck me as either somewhat clueless or (sometimes) in bad faith.

The fact is that there already exist a number of institutionally-enshrined "voices" creating wildly unequal access to parliament and executive government. The last week's focus from the federal Opposition in parliament has been highlighting how frequently the voice of #Qantas gets heeded, for instance. Whereas when it comes to, say, the #MineralsCouncilAustralia or Rupert #Murdoch, not only can they get a minister's ear more or less whenever they like, but their approval or disapproval often makes or breaks party leaders.

I am no fan of the current #qantas customer service or its stranglehold on flights around and to and from the country.

But, #qatarairways and the government that own are not entities I would be prepared to support in any way.

Hail to Alan Joyce, CEO of Qantas,
Who took the helm in its darkest days
Though prices are high, for planes they design
And scandals mount, his legacy still shines.

#AlanJoyce shouldn't be penalised for being a cunning, callous CEO. Most CEOs are like that.

The reason why his bonus is excessive is the damage he did to the #QANTAS brand.

It looks like I'll be flying #Qantas on the first day post Alan Joyce...

Did Alan Joyce commit a criminal offence?

As Michael West points out, we'll probably never know because 'they prefer to charge poor people for stealing a bottle of grog from a shop than prosecute big-time directors for fancy corporate offences'.

Everybody seems really angry that Joyce accepted a large bonus from #QANTAS.

I doubt any of them wouldn't take the money themselves if it were offered to them.

#Qantas considers paying back #JobKeeper following week of mounting criticism - https://apple.news/ADHGgOv8vTS-Ws_Vnnp25ZA | If ⁦‪Qantas‬⁩ truly want to improve their reputation, they should abandon their sexual discrimination against males, bring ALL their work in-house and back to Australia, *and* repay JobKeeper… Until then, I consider #QANTAS a horrible, unethical company; an #Australian company that is an embarrassment and a poor example of Australian values.
