No Alan, people don’t regard you as a politician. It is you who keep thinking you are one and using the Qantas brand to inflate your point of view, way beyond what anyone actually cares what you personally think.

Yes, he is a public figure. He is the CEO of one of the biggest, most internationally recognised and iconic Australian icons. He has a rather big profile in Australia. He is well known by people for his actions (not making any connotation here) with the airline. Therefore, he is a public figure.
