Good afternoon. Unions have welcomed Alan Joyce’s early departure from Qantas after the airline was caught up in ongoing controversies.

The chief executive brought forward his scheduled retirement by two months, which the Australian Services Union said gave the airline the chance to “hit the reset button”. Labor senator and former Transport Workers’ Union secretary Tony Sheldon said Joyce’s legacy was a workforce “split across 38 companies and a brand now synonymous with low pay, insecure work, illegal sackings and consumer rip-offs”.
