Correct me if I am wrong.
Qantas estimates on a MEL - SYD flight each pax is worth 92kgs of Carbon Dioxide i.e. 9.2 tonne.
With Julia's Carbon Tax at say $25 per tonne that is an addtional $230 per pax ticket which is going to put a big hole in Qantas bottom line.
Makes these redundancies perhaps even more attractive??
