Qantas bosses under fire for bringing ‘wrong group of people’ to inquiry

- Senator Budget McKenzie has issued a warning to Qantas bosses about the “swag of questions” on notice after claiming the company brought the “wrong group of people” to the Senate inquiry.
A parliamentary inquiry is investigating the government's decision to block extra Qatar Airways flights from coming into Australia.
Ms McKenzie questioned Qantas chairman Richard Goyder and CEO Vanessa Hudson about why the company did not bring any members of its government relations team.
“I do think it beggar’s belief that a company of your sophistication and muscle has come here today with precisely the wrong group of people to answer Senators’ questions about the relation between Qantas Group and this government,” she said during the inquiry.
Ms McKenzie warned there will be a “swag of questions” on notice for Qantas’ government relations team.
“If one out of the seven is on holidays I would hope that Qantas Group would show this committee the respect that it needs to and make sure those questions are answered.”
She added the inquiry is a “good opportunity” for Qantas to repair its reputation.
Let’s be honest, there’s no way they were going to miss their flight. It was already canceled.
Yes but all the tickets were pre-sold.
That’s only for the paying tax paying public not these entitled recipients of the public teat
😂 I'm sure the pilot was ordered to delay the flight
I’ll take that on notice 😂
Oh don’t worry they’re here on a private Qantas jet. He was just looking for a way out
Miss your flight home to Sydney, take that as a kick in the face for all those customers that you have screwed over
Shows you where the Executive team's priorities are.
Though they would never be at risk of missing the last fight--someone will be making a phone call to hold the plane!
It would have been an interesting flight home
Exactly. Well said!
I like the way she gave them a good old-fashioned kick up the arse! Well done!
Her closing sentence was priceless
As if they give a shit what the professional rorter herself has to say... it's a listed public company
Until there is accountability for these crooks, they will continue to do what they have been doing for years! ACCOUNTABILITY!
Qantas is in such a mess. No wonder Alan Joyce is able to manipulate the whole company easily. The whole board should be replaced by young and country loving Australians.
They have outsourced international crew to UK and NZ bases. Bring back jobs to Australians
And Criminally charged
Where do we find one of those? they have all been corrupted by woke left teachers?
💯
All of these big companies need to put Australian's first , NOT their pockets and certainly NOT espionage
@@threadie
Where did you find that information 🤔
I can't find it !!!
I couldn't agree more about blckrock as well
Time for serious boycott of Qantas and Jetstar
Ive been doing that since they force vaccinated their workforce.
@@Joe-jd4pn I and my company have been since the Irish pervert was installed, the standards dropped drastically
@@Joe-jd4pn then please continue with your boycott coz other passengers don't mind you continuing with your stance.
If U think Qantas and Jetstar are a mess then feel free to travel to the U.S. where their airlines are appalling......many of the flights are cancelled because they don't have enough flight attendents....Why don't they have enough flight attendents? Because there work agreements are horrendous.......SouthWest airlines ended up being a real joke at the beginning of this year because of their flight routes. All the planes were flying to destinations with baggage and without passengers......Do you know hoe bad this is if you are stranded at city where it is snowing but they have already sent you baggage to your destination? Airports were getting over run with bags, people had prams and warm coats sent to their destination so they were freezing for 2 weeks and all the hire cars had been rented out.
Make Rex, Bonza or Virgin our new national carrier
First time I ihave seen Ms Bridget McKenzie in action, and I have to say she is amazing. So in control, poised and really on top of the subject matter.
This is real politics at work.... congratulations 👏
Wait till you see her with a Shotgun in her hands !
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yes, they are smart people and that's how democracy works.
the real problem is the complete and utter disrespect for the Australian tax payer whose money gets ;hand delivered in a suitcase' to Alan Joyce and the dog and pony show where we the people are treated like complete idiots. QANTAS have flown a long way from their humble begiinings as a domestic air carrier - treacherous and corrupt. IMHO
Look at their last ad👃 and it shows you who's running the show 🇮🇱
At first viewing, my estimation of Senator McKenzie has gone up a heap. Finally one politician that at least is trying their hardest to get a result that will benefit the people of Australia first (regardless of what he or she has done before this time, now we are focussed on getting Qantas fixed).
That's right. I guess she learned her lesson after the sports rorts?
Not really if she was on game she would have issued written instructions naming Qantas head of governance and Joyce as summonsed witnesses to attend. These pratts knew what the committee wanted ie someone who had liaised with federal minister and deliberately sent representatives that had no such involvement. Next time summons or direct head of top three of governance and Joyce. That way you get to cross examine three different witnesses separately and watch the truth come out under cross examination.
Can't summons the gay leprechaun if he is in Ireland
I thought the senator was doing a excellent job
You are joking! Senator Rorts,as her mates call her, still flies Qantas and still accepts membership of the Qantas Directors Lounge. Hypocritical much!
Why can't Joyce be interviewed by video ? The whole world functioned on Zoom calls for 2 years during Covid. FFS.
He’s gone back hiding in the closet …
Again. Thank you Senator McKenzie for your consistent & persistent pursuit for accountability. I loved your closing wishes; so apt. 🙏
Arrogant Qantas Scum
You could tell by their last ad 👃
The Minister, the ex-CEO and the head of the Qantas team on these matters are all overseas at the same time. How convenient. May your bags be with you.
Stalling tactics. Subpoena the lot of them and give them jail time for not turning up.
You mean Gaol time ?
With lots of slippery soap ‘activities’.
This is a BAD JOKE. WHO do they THINK THEY ARE.?? ANOTHER VIC cover UP. Straight from Dans PLAYBOOK.
Check out their last ad 👃 🇮🇱
How the heck could the Qantas board allow their CEO to offload $17 million in Qantas shares, when they and the CEO would have known that there were major problems about to arise in a matter of days - and which would probably affect the share price. Is it being investigated by ASIC for the possibility of acting on insider knowledge?
It's exactly the same scenario for Dan Andrews.
Get rid of them, they are a disgrace, shame. Is this the new face off Qantas?
You are right, the whole lot need to be boot out.
I cancelled my QFF at the start of the pandemic and told them to get FKD. They were more concerned I'd be losing my points. Told them they are just numbers and don't mean anything to me.
It's as plain as the nose👃on their face, like in their last ad 🇮🇱
Not the new face, continuation of jobs for the boys with arrogance.
The only saving grace for our government is the handful of senators that represent the interest of the people.
The sheer arrogance of these people is astounding .. these are the scammers that defrauded Australians Buying Airline Tickets .. the Company Knew were never going to take off
Top Senator.
You made your position clear in a simple way.
CEO and Finch are obviously from the Joyce school of management. Inept is one word, dishonest perhaps, misleading perhaps or maybe just incompetent
Interestingly companies such as Australia Post, Telstra and this one seem to always think that they are independent corporations that are not required to be fronted by a government inquiry. Corporate employees have no idea how to address parliament.
Maybe all of above
Like McClown in the West, Andrews, Joyce .... No Accountability No Answers ......Just Walk away with Big Payouts ?
Poor bugger, he's going to miss his flight, probably be delayed twice anyway mate, pretentious Mr Finch
I like this woman. She should be PM!
who? Bridget McKenzie? You do realize she was Sports Minister when the sports rorts saga happened, don't you? Her grilling Qantas is like the pot calling the kettle black.
@@karenmbbaxter She's got more brains than the three muppets sitting in front of her!
@@karenmbbaxterWho gives AF about that non-scandal?
They wanted to leave early, they did....
@@user-en9jk8rf8v Just not early enough to make their flight.... 🤣
Fantastic questions from Senator McKenzie. It’s reassuring to know there is SOME real quality in our Parliament and, man, didn’t she hold the Qantas cabal’s feet to the fire?
I bet Albo is tangled up in this scam some-how?
Shame she didn't have the same candor on sports reports
This is how a private company treats the government after multiple million dollar bail outs….
It's actually the tax payer who has bailed them out, and it's the tax payer that they hold contempt for
Same group of "people" 👃 that were in the last ad 🇮🇱
I want my money returned as a taxpayer that I can spend on my family
They are not a private company.
Hope you land on time and your bag's with you, priceless
Qantas has been a disaster since Alan Joyce become involved !
Alan Joyce
Espionage
Defamation
Greed
Not when you actually look at the real facts and not what the media betrays to the Australian public. Quanta’s was tanking before Joyce came along.
I don't know, I'll take that question on notice (repeat)
get rid of these absolute corporate muppets out, stop letting them absolutely destroy qantas.
They arrived on time!, which means they didn't fly Qantas to get there.
And they haven’t lost there baggage
Just like Joyce and Andrews when you completely destroy a business / State just walk away from it with huge bonusses, how good is that. I'm over it. BULL SHIT
They need not worry about missing their precious flight home....It will no doubt be delayed or just cancelled anyway. Let them face the music, as their slimy ex boss runs for the hills.
Totally appreciate the last remark to the QANTAS group that they and their baggage make their flight. There must be someone else running the airline because their answers to the senate inquiry suggest these three ,the probably don’t know how to book a flight anyway. Given every possible market advantage they treat their staff and customers with utter contempt.
Check out their last ad 👃 🇮🇱
This Finch really believes that his shit doesn't stink. Such an important person isn't he.
His pomposity is nauseating
I'm so pleased it wasn't just me. I literally wanted to climb through the TV screen this afternoon and slap him. An absolutely smug condesending so and so.
The last flight to Sydney leaves in 35 minutes! Um, if this meeting isn’t at the airport I don’t think you’ll make it. Mr. Finch is the perfect example of one’s name. Little bird-like man thing, all his feathers neatly tucked into his ass.
Beast mode engaged! Why have I not heard more about Senator McKenzie. She's awesome. Wields the blowtorch beautifully. Let's hope some accountability follows.
to watch the Qantas representatives flip, flop and squirm under questioning from the Senate was mildly amusing.
Sadly, the corporate world they inhabit will protect and allow them to walk away with financial compensation to sweeten the pill. Not so for the customers with Qantas credits .
I'll be on QF2 to Sydney at Christmas and hopefully the post-Joyce era will provide the sort of travel experience worthy of the previous Qantas reputation.
Wow! They are going to miss their plane!? The audacity.
It was possible it wad already cancelled before tickets were sold.
Mr finch is so full of his self importance be careful he doesn’t pee his nickers
Well it didn't get him anywhere lol.. she shut him up quick smart.. he seems like an arrogant prat. Good job!
“old mate” is overseas lol hahahahah love it
Well done Senator McKenzie. Now that is how you Grill 🔥
I love Bridget’s parting shot 😂
Quantass is not a national carrier its a public company.
Its legal obligations are to its shareholders.
Everything else is expendible
✝️ Ford vs. dodge ✡️ legal case
Mr Finch might want to change his name to Mr chook !!
Who is this finch guy, he's so important! In his iwn mind anyway
Qantas Lawyer.
Pompous Prick
Goyder and Hudson are gone, they have lost the trust of shareholders.
Genuine pigs from animals farm stuff
The closing remark by Bridget McKenzie says it all.
We need this woman in a covid enquiry
Imagine if governments and employers were grilled about mandates in the same way?
Exactly 100%.
This woman was in Government during Covid you fwit..she going to enquire about herself?
Senator Mckenzie doing a brilliant job.
Missing your flight Mr.Finch, "no worries, here's a $25 food voucher and we'll inform you of the next available flight"
Like rabbits caught in the headlights of their own ineptitude. I wonder if they made their flight?
Well done Bridget!
On holidays, how convenient!
Probably to 🇮🇱
Like QANTAS' last ad 👃
Absolutely brilliant questioning by the Madam chair of this Senate inquiry. Corporate Australia please take notice - do not endorse 'Political positions'. Best to remain apolitical. Always. It comes across as ramming a political position onto people. Otherwise you risk losing the support of your employees, stakeholders and importantly customers!
Further this shows an enormous political naivety by the Qantas Executive team and surprisingly an experienced Board of Directors. Always best for Corporate Australia to remain apolitical. Australians want to fly to their destinations in safety with a minimum of fuss and not have Political messages thrust onto them.
AFL and Gill should take note!
GOSH, She's Very Good (the Committee Chairwoman) 🎯😊♥️♥️♥️♥️ Keeping the Bastards HONEST 👍
I bet they didnt miss their flight
All the poor bastards on that flight
Wouldve been held over until they got their
Under the pretence mechanical issue's
Until they got their even if it took 4 hrs
Excellent work. It would be great to see the same scrutiny on the QANTAS gouging of the North West Qld region.
Can we get Hamish McLennan on here and grill Australian Rugby for the poor mismanagement over the last 20 years too.
Sorry but I won't praise the Senator. She should have said "Get the appropriate people here for tomorrow morning or any and all Federal funds to Qantas are frozen at noon".
She is just a senator. Not an authoritarian dictator.
@@gregorythompson5826 She is the Senator heading a committee questioning Qantas, a company that gets shitloads of public funding.
The entire concept that companies can get public funding and ignore questions has to stop. If there's no penalty for horsing around and bullshitting, why hold the hearing?
"Question on notice" is a defeat for transparency. It means the question will be sent in writing and maybe, one day, a written response will be received. (After any and all media interest has gone and whatever answer is given won't be reported on) The government is being way too nice about this.
If KARMA is real and exists, then KARMA is going to rain down on these crooks!! Cause and effect!!! What you sow you reap...a huge can of worms opened up
Lady karma never forgets … she goes down the genealogy, people forget
Will never ever fly Qantas again. Pure arrogance
What a class act she is luv the closing words, pure 22c gold
Loved the way the senator closed the meeting .
An audit needs to be undertaken on how A Joyce cashed out big time at the tax payers expense. He may have done a runner, but he should not be able to escape.
Thankyou Senator McKenzie 👍🏻
What a joke and Hudson needs to already go - get a NEW HIRE IN. An EXTERNAL HIRE can change the culture, not someone associated with the brand for so long and willing to embrace their disgraceful tactics. Goyder is an absolute freak and the western suburbs audacity to arrogantly hold his position from his Cottesloe Mansion when Regional blue collar workers suffer the consequences is an absolute DISGRACE!
"Goy" oy vey!
Need to sort out the 🇮🇱 mafia first
Check out QANTAS' last ad 👃
Good to see they are looking into this
But the donut puncher has already fled the scene …
How enjoyable to see at least Some members of the airline getting grilled once and for all. They should ALL get fired and perhaps AFP should it out a warrant for the ex CEO !
Hopefully it lands on time and your bags with you quote of the century
This Finch character is a cocky little rooster!
100% gay too 🌈🤮👎
Pompous Prick
Time to by pass Qantas and fly a better airlines
The arrogance and contempt of Qantas!!
Wow, Mc Kenzie is really good 👍
She should have told them that their flight was cancelled.
A pathetic example of Qantas executive leadership. It would seem the dog ate their homework as they were all totally inept at responding to Senators’ questions. No respect and sheer arrogance but it did highlight none of them are leaders.
Give em hell McKenzie 😊
Brilliant. Goyder must go, no matter what happens, he is unfit to be a Chairman of a company where individual person as a customer is key.
I’m just loving these TRUTH BOMBS COMING OUT
Liars liars liars.
Bridget, YOU'RE A LEGEND!!!!!
Let Australian flying public have choice ,let another international airline come in as it will make our carrier lift its game , customers keep this company afloat
The arrogance of these Qantas bosses. They don’t care they make millions of dollars in salaries and bonuses each year and have no accountability
What makes the senate experts at the issues at Qantas?😂
My tax dollars wasted on these Qantas pratts great job federal government
Wish the public could questioned members of parliament like this . Bunch of hypocrites
We could start with Senator McKenzie and her sports rorts debacle
The three stooges, like rabbits caught in the headlights. Promoting people to positions of incompetence makes for a great company.
A company wishing to avoid "..Ridicule, Embarrassment or Public Criticism.." ???? ... then don't do anything dodgy.. LOL
Senator Mackenzie is a gun…great questions…these slimy executives who received tax payer money have been despicable…
How good is that statement up you.
All a show all a stage completely unaccountable garbage
What Allan Joyce and his leadership team have done to Qantas is horrible. Greedy and cruel. It was a world class air line 😢
Was waiting for the Nuremberg Defence to be rolled out " I voz jaarst followink orderezzz" LOL ;)
How incompetent does that group appear? You wouldn’t trust any of them to run a taxi business let alone a major airline.
You know you have hit a new low when your credibility is being called into question by Senator McKenzie
senator mckenzie for PM
Wow, and they wonder why we don’t like lawyers. He is a classic example.
Hilarious closing comments from the senator 😂
What a shambles and they all get paid top dollar for knowing SFA !
Well he was shoot down in a hurry,well done to you all👏🇦🇺
