Qantas’s luck has gone from bad to worse. 

The airline has had to ditch expiry dates for Covid credits, and faced questions over its prices and tickets allegedly sold for flights that had already been cancelled. 

Meanwhile, the government is accused of unfairly propping up Qantas and putting its profits ahead of consumers’ interests. 

So will Qantas be pressured into paying back their government support – and can outgoing chief executive Alan Joyce keep dodging the company’s disasters?

Today, senior reporter for The Saturday Paper Rick Morton, on chaos at Qantas and whether the government is too cosy with our national carrier.
