I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes the significant benefit that a majority Australian-owned Qantas brings to national security, manufacturing and tourism jobs, and the wider economy; and

(b) calls on the Government to seriously consider investing in Qantas as a signal of its importance to the national economy.

by leave—I move:

After paragraph (b), insert:

(c) considers that any government investment should not be made while the Chief Executive Officer (Mr Joyce) and Chairman (Mr Clifford) remain in the company.
