There is nil organisational prejudice in the Qantas workforce. [snip... for brevity]

So what prejudice is there to overcome for Qantas?
Hopefully, what you say is true. Today.

I've been in Qantas long enough to know that hasn't always been the case. I've known S/O's never to make F/O on account of the fact that they were "foolish" enough to come out in public as gay. Also, F/O's never to make Captain for the same reason.

Times have changed. Why? Because people like Alan Joyce have made it known that it won't be tolerated.

It didn't change overnight with a memo from the boss.

It took decades of cultural change, lead by the leaders of Companies, not politicians.

That is no different from what is happening today.
