This morning's diatribe is so misleading it almost qualifies as "fake news".

"AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT GAVE QANTAS $3.26 BILLION IN 1993"
"The Australian government gave Qantas the 2020 equivalent of A$3.26 billion in 1993 to recapitalise the airline ahead of its float. The actual amount was A$1.35 billion but in 2020 dollars depending upon the measurement criteria that is up to A$5.63 billion."
This was back when Qantas was a
government-owned airline! So yeah, okay, the government gave Qantas money when it owned Qantas. Big whoop. Up next: the Government gave money to Australia Post, or Medicare? GT is really going off the rails with this sensationalist clickbait nonsense which falls apart the moment you read past the headline and engage your brain and actually think. Not that he wants anybody to do that, he just wants people to look at the headline and pump their fists and shout for that billion dollar bail-out. Sad!
