Soft corruption at work.
So Little Napoleon will take a stand and strip Mr Anning of Chairman's lounge benefits.
A benefit apparently freely given, with no ulterior motivation, and not publicly disclosed, now is shown for what it is; corruption.
Mr Anning has not been charged with an offence, yet Qantas, rather like all soft corruption corporates decide unilaterally that it doesn't fit a selected narrative.
What is next, anybody who does not explicitly support homosexual marriage is also excluded?
Therefore any assertion that the Chairman's lounge access isn't designed to sway judges, politicians and senior regulatory officials is rubbish.
Given that it is highly probable, the ACCC Chair Sims, ASIC Chair Shipton etc expect no change. It is an elite club and you aren't in it.
