Let's say Qantas sold seafood. Qantas says 'buy our seafood because it is caught by good Australian fisherman in Australian trawlers, complying with all Australian regulations'. So, you believe that and go and buy your fish from Qantas.

Then the Trawlermen try to tell you, 'Hey, wait a minute, some of those fish you are buying are from fish farms and some of them soon enough will be coming from rice paddies in Vietnam'.

The fishermen say, if it's got Qantas Australian Wild Caught Fish on the label, then you should be 100% assured [just like under the fair trading laws] that your fish is caught by genuine Australian fishermen, in Australian waters. ..........

Look, the Aussie Trawler Fisherman don't really care if Qantas chooses to bring out a canned product using farmed fish or imported fish, just so long as it is properly labelled. But people buying product A are currently getting product B or C, in the opinion of the Trawlermen.



Are you saying that it is OK if Jetstar continue to expand as long as the public are clear that they are buying a ticket on a Jetstar Aircraft? What is your opinion on codeshare? Should Qantas be a part of the Oneword Alliance? Last time I checked, when you buy a ticket through the Qantas website, it says operated by Jetconnect, Jetstar or Air France et al.

Does your “Qantas Flight, Qantas Pilot” allow Qantas to sell tickets on other codeshare partner airlines or are you saying that they can only sell tickets on Qantas mainline flights only?
