One can only hope the QANTAS rationale masks the real reason the government rejected Qatar’s overtures, namely taking a moral stand over the repugnant episode in Doha. I see Flight Centre’s CEO has mocked this argument proving once again that if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. A more positive response from “Skroo” would have been to encourage QANTAS to fill the demand for travel to Australia by servicing the market properly. He is apparently wilfully blind to the fact that Qatar Airways is a state-run airline. Know your product.
