Good afternoon. Peter Dutton has questioned the “strange arrangements” of Anthony Albanese allegedly seeking free Qantas flight upgrades directly from Alan Joyce while serving as transport minister and opposition leader, as the Coalition sought to cast scrutiny on Labor’s relationship with the airline and its controversial former chief executive.
The reports, published over the weekend in extracts from a new book, state that Albanese declared flight upgrades on about 20 Qantas flights between 2009 and 2019 while he occupied various positions including transport minister, shadow transport minister and opposition leader.
