I think this is in reference to the claim made by the TWU that it (the union) is seeking direct compensation from Qantas for membership fees that it did not receive from those workers who were illegally sacked and who otherwise would have remained union members.
I think the QF argument was why should they be made to pay for membership fees from members who were possibly un-financial at the time, as well as a number of other different scenarios.
Justice Lee seemed thoroughly unimpressed by the performance of the TWU lawyers. Scathing even…..
