You know what. Qantas are winning this media game. Not through reason, just through volume. They buy their media opportunities and no union can match that. We all know they are lying through their teeth and it turns the small number of fence sitting Qantas employees against them every time they spread rubbish.
Other union leaders and I only have limited opportunities for air time. I can guarantee though that a listener to any live media I do will only have to hear me speak once and they will at least realise that there are two sides to the story. In many of those cases the listener will be understanding of our plight. From that point in time, every lie that Qantas spread will work against them.
The river bank is a comfortable place to be.
