Nationals senator, Bridget McKenzie, and Liberal senator Dean Smith said “The Albanese government has failed to ensure travelling Australians are not taken advantage of by our airlines and instead have spent the past 18 months running a protection racket for Qantas who represent more than 60% of the Australian airline industry.” This is of course a completely different protection racket than the one the Coalition ran for the previous nine years from the Chairman’s Lounge. I hope Albo’s government legislate more protection for airline passengers but I would love to see concrete progress on building high speed rail between Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/feb/09/new-pay-on-delay-airline-flight-delays-bill-compensation-passengers-liberal-coalition-details
