An Australian politician has been banned from flying Qantas for six months. This happened after she allegedly cursed Qantas employees and talked about her “p * ssy power”. Denied access to airport lounges creates dramaThis incident occurred at Melbourne Airport on March 25, 2021 and affects Jacqui Lambie, a controversial Senator from Tasmania. Qantas has a Chairman’s Lounge, a lounge reserved for business people, politicians, and VVIPs only (more on this below). Apparently Lambie’s access to the lounge had been blocked due to previous incidents and she wasn’t happy to find out. As she admits, she “blew [her] Great for a Qantas worker who doesn’t deserve it. “She apparently also spoke of her” p * ssy power “(which means more power for her). Initially, there were reports that she referred to the overtly gay Qantas CEO as “Puff”, although it has now been confirmed that this was not said. She vehemently denied this and Qantas even confirmed in a written statement that she “made no homophobic comment in connection with this incident”.
Qantas imposes a six-month flight banApparently, Qantas and the politician “negotiated” what would be a fair punishment (I love the concept of that) and it was agreed that a six month Qantas ban would be fair. I would bet she won’t be invited back to the Chairman’s Lounge when her flight ban is over. ? I think at this point she has to fly Virgin Australia, the only other airline she can fly between Tasmania and Canberra. Lambie apologized, and that’s a good thing. This is what she said:
I’m really impressed that not only is this an excuse for “I’m sorry if you were offended,” but it actually seems to be from the heart, or at least taking responsibility for what happened. It’s not often that we see this from politicians, so at least kudos to them for it. Qantas banned a politician for six months for her behavior What I find funny about Qantas’ Chairman’s LoungeSince we are talking about the Qantas Chairman’s Lounge, it is interesting to consider what is considered appropriate and inappropriate in different countries:
To be clear, I am not suggesting that we have higher ethical standards when it comes to politics given the way campaign funding is going in the United States. And besides, we see similar things in the United States, but it just happens under the table and we act wrongly indignant when we find out about it. It’s just a fun difference as no one in Australia seems to pop their eyelids. Bottom lineOne Australian politician was not happy that he was denied access to Qantas’ Chairman’s Lounge only upon invitation, to which many politicians have access. She apparently behaved inappropriately towards a Qantas employee and agreed to a six-month flight ban. She claims she had an exceptionally bad day and takes responsibility for the way she acted so kudos to her for that at least. What do you think of this incident in the Qantas Chairman’s Lounge?
