Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Why has the government ignored Qantas when it says that it needs immediate action and instead chosen to propose legislation which it knows has no chance to pass the parliament? Why is the government using Qantas as an ideological political football and sacrificing Australian jobs to try and score some cheap political points?
