Anthony Albanese has denied contacting – in any way – the former Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce or any other airline staff to seek flight upgrades.
The prime minister’s office on Thursday confirmed Albanese did not contact Joyce by phone, email, text message or any other direct means, and also did not directly contact Qantas government relations executive Andrew Parker, as has been alleged in other media reports, or any other airline staff to seek an upgrade.
