Be thankful for what we have because if Qantas had its way, there would be no competition except for token weekly flights by flag carriers from Britain and America and Sydney Airport would be the only international gateway into Australia.

As for the the Minister, she is a lightweight that will do as she is told.

The "decarbonise air transport" meme is not a joke. The Minister was not kidding. The "net zero " BS represents the biggest profit making opportunity for energy intensive industries since the industrial revolution. The oil companies, miners, electricity suppliers and the transport industry now have carte blanche to reduce investment, restrict supply and raise prices all in the name of sustainability, greenhouse gas reduction, etc. and the Green movement will cheer them on. The Greens already have mass tourism and associated air travel in their sights.

There is a murderous self destructive urge at the core of the green movement that will destroy the Australian economy and society if permitted. The only bright spot is that psychiatrist Jordan Petersen has belled the cat and he is enduring the fury of the left in response.
