McCormack can then continue to call all of us lounge lizards for not getting another job And remaining on jobkeeper.
EK aren’t “fishing for a subsidy” 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Why are they still flying to Perth then?
It’s most likely because of the testing requirements for crew on arrival, something WA doesn’t do....
(which is a good thing by the way).
