Keg, you (and others) have made repeated claims that your problem is not what Alan Joyce’s opinion is, but that he is using Qantas and Qantas property to promote them. In fact you suggest it has never happened before.
Ok. I'll say it again. I don't feel it's appropriate for companies to be engaged it socio-political issues- particularly when they're as divisive as this issue is.
I've never argued that Joyce can't speak on behalf of Qantas. I've argued that he shouldn't on this issue and others related to it.
Qantas embarks on a political campaign the likes of which it's never previously done
But you conveniently ignore, or forget, the Recognise campaign to constitutionally recognise Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders that Qantas strongly supported. They didn't just paint 1 aircraft, they put the Recognise logo on 31 aircraft!!
In the media Qantas group executive Olivia Wirth said;
The livery would build on the airline’s longstanding celebration of indigenous culture. As an Australian icon, Qantas is proud to lend its support towards ensuring the first chapter of Australia’s story and the people who forged it are recognised
Yet where were the howls of complaint?? Where were the 20 pages of debate? How dare Qantas try and tell people how to vote in a referendum (a plebiscite’s big brother)?
There wasn't a peep. Yet suddenly now people are fired up.
It is clear that your exception to Alan Joyce speaking in Qantas’s name is not that he does it, but that you don't believe in what he is fighting for. Therefore your argument lacks authenticity.
