No Worries!!

I am just a little dissapointed that Chris Bowen's Department of Immigration did not get invited to the party to be asked the question of why his Border Security teams continue to allow foreign CC who have entered the country and passed through immigration and customs to work as cabin crew on domestic flights without a visa which confers work priviledges.

This goes to the heart of why the Immigration Act exists.

You do not need to go looking for them as they are right under your nose every day at the airports where the border security teams are based!! Perhaps that's the last place you look??

We will see what questions bget asked tomorrow and what the responses are.

Perhaps someone might like to look at the Qantas AOC and the requirement to provide REGULAR public transport. That means in accordance with a published schedule.

Why hasn't CASA given them a "Show Cause" notice?

ejectx3 3rd Nov 2011 21:53

Any ideas how to listen when I'm away from home with iPhone + 3G coverage? Those links don't work on iPhone.

Edit: it's on sky now

Something about damaging the National Economy?

crow17 3rd Nov 2011 22:06

Live on ABC 24 now.

ACT Crusader 3rd Nov 2011 22:23

ejectx - download the ABC app and then you can watch the ABC24 live feed.

But I'm guessing tha ABC24 won't cover the whole day, probably just the QF and J* evidence

another superlame 3rd Nov 2011 22:54

That man is Mr Teflon, crap slide right off. So far nothing has stuck.

Cookie7 3rd Nov 2011 23:00

Although I do like the fact that AJ keeps looking around for one of his mates and no one is willing to back him up, then in came OW with a scrap piece of paper stating "fact" about new a/c delivered to Q domestic this year.

AJ is seeking to take many things "on notice" or "further clarification from another board member".

another superlame, saying AJ is Mr Teflon is far too nice!

craigieburn 3rd Nov 2011 23:02

Is it just me, or is anyone else getting sick of da liddle man using the word amazing?:yuk:

ejectx3 3rd Nov 2011 23:05

Needs subtitles, like the hitler video

V-Jet 3rd Nov 2011 23:12

He is a very accomplished 'obfuscator'..

Core expertise is getting to management topics he is comfortable with.

His face goes bright red when cornered.

Unfortunately the questioners are not competent to ask with authority as they do not know enough to know. They are politicians, not legal experts.

piston broke again 3rd Nov 2011 23:42

Getting hammered by bob brown!

teresa green 3rd Nov 2011 23:45

Onya Kelpie, if you are anything like the real thing (I have two kelpies) you will be relentless. Go get em mate.

glekichi 3rd Nov 2011 23:46

Joyce just admitted the reason for the lockout was to be able to ground the airline, not the other way around.

teresa green 3rd Nov 2011 23:47

On Sky now Guys.

wishiwasupthere 3rd Nov 2011 23:49

As much as I despise Bob Brown, go you good thing! Keep at him.

600ft-lb 3rd Nov 2011 23:53

I couldn't believe when he was asked to stay longer


I have a flight to catch so I have to go by xx:xx
He works for an airline with a lot of flights every day to Canberra, shows how much respect he has for the process.

But he's getting a bit ****ty now with some non gimme questions that Bob Brown is giving

V-Jet 3rd Nov 2011 23:57

His tactic (as would anyones be, I guess) is to focus on minutiae as quickly as possible and go into as much detail as possible to chew up time on items he is confident with.

He will be watching a clock thinking, 25 more minutes, 20 minutes, 15.....almost there..almost there.

Needs professional questioning.

Very significant he stated technical representation is 'very very rarely' at board level.

wpax 4th Nov 2011 00:02

A380 heavy maintenance
 
When AJ says that "we do our heavy maintenance here", what about the A380s? I thought they go to Lufthansa Technik for their maintenance.

Nick Xenophon smiling in the corner...love it.

cvrurass 4th Nov 2011 00:16

Bob makes him sweat
 
i must agree brown nailed him. when will criminal charges be laid?

packrat 4th Nov 2011 00:16

FF point of View
 
The problem for Qantas is that is is currently run by a CEO and board that are driven more by an ideological obsession with management prerogative than by any understanding of the emerging workplace of the 21st Century. This last act of lunacy is just the last in a long line since it's privatisation. I personally don't give a rat's arse if it disappears tomorrow so long as the staff can get jobs with another airline that will treat them as valuable assets of the company, not liabilities to be got rid of.



600ft-lb 4th Nov 2011 00:19

I think joyce just got checkmated by senator cameron.

ejectx3 4th Nov 2011 00:19

Who is the senator who sounds like Sean Connery? Senator cameron? What's his background?

Cookie7 4th Nov 2011 00:20

That would be Doug Cameron, who just said AJ is squirming like Former President Nixon out of answering questions.
To which AJ said to Senator Cameron, "this is like a McCarthy trial" (read as McCarthyism).

ejectx3 4th Nov 2011 00:21

Thanks cookie I did edit my question and added his name after hearing further. Cheers for your reply .

cvrurass 4th Nov 2011 00:22

Red faces
 
luv to see him squirm. what happens now?

wishiwasupthere 4th Nov 2011 00:23

Sen Cameron - 'I wonder if your $2 million pay rise was a bigger distraction for the pilots'. :ok:

2b2 4th Nov 2011 00:24

Get to the point Cameron!!

ejectx3 4th Nov 2011 00:25

Livvy is running around more than an Olympic relay runner.

I'm loving Euan McGregor here..

Cookie7 4th Nov 2011 00:26


Senator Cameron? What's his background?
Answer below from wikipedia


Douglas Niven Cameron (born 27 January 1951) is an Australian politician and trade unionist. He has been a Labor member of the Australian Senate since July 2008, representing the state of New South Wales.
Cameron was born in Bellshill, Scotland. He was first elected to the Senate at the 2007 federal election. He won Labor preselection by mounting a successful challenge to then incumbent Senator George Campbell. Cameron previously served as the national secretary of the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union.
