They seem to be pushing on Labor for any failure here. And more specifically, the duopoly. Bonza barely even operate alongside the duopoly, are they braindead?
Bridget McKenzie is based in Wodonga, next door to Albury which has benefitted from Bonza's weird route choices to fly brand new 189 seat MAXs to the Sunshine and Gold Coasts from a regional centre of less than 100,000 in population, so does have a local agenda to want to keep the airline flying. They aren't even challenging the duopoly as both QF and VA weren't stupid enough to put any seats on those routes.
