Anyone know the numbers off the top of their head re: how much oil etc australia gets from qatar vs the emirates? @Smurf1976 ?

It may be complex to track. It may be going through other markets first, like refined oil/petroleum processed in Singapore then comes to Australia and we aren't aware where the oil originates

Looks like Goyder finally got the message.

Directly most of our imports come in the form of refined products from Singapore, South Korea, India, Malaysia and China. Plus lesser amounts from various others.

For crude oil Malaysia's the dominant source.

Where it gets complex is with where Singapore etc are obtaining the oil from. Apart from Malaysia the others have either far less crude oil production than their refinery throughput or they don't produce crude at all. I'm not sure if they're sourcing any from Qatar or not.

Ultimately though the UAE is a larger producer of oil than Qatar. The actual figures do vary depending on whether LPG, ethane and in Qatar's case liquids (at ambient temperature and pressure) produced from natural gas feedstock via GTL plants are included as "oil" or not but ultimately UAE's much larger source of oil and oil-like products than Qatar.

To what extent that influences the politics around national airlines I'm not sure.

Yeah, not something the public are really going to know very well. Qantas doesn't peel off to the UAE on either of its kangaroo routes/to europe (it's either via singapore with the A380 or perth with the 787) so that kind of ruled that direct fuel provision question out.

It's amazing how much of a breath of fresh air, clears the smell of a blocked toilet.

Qantas to finally move to main Perth Airport hub

After years of fractious negotiations, the flying kangaroo will move its main Perth operations to Airport Central, where it will construct a new WA headquarters.

QAN has put forward a novel defence in the case against it in the Federal Court.
From AFR

Qantas disputes the notion that customers are buying tickets for a particular flight, as it blamed its booking systems and the “sheer scale” of travel changes for it selling flights that had already been cancelled.

In its statement of defence filed with the Federal Court, Qantas said the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s case hinges on a definition of the “services” that Qantas supplies.

“The ACCC contends that Qantas supplies carriage on ‘particular flights’. Qantas disputes this. The ‘service’ that Qantas supplies is not carriage on any ‘particular flight’ but rather a bundle of rights that includes alternative options to which consumers are entitled in respect of a cancelled flight,” the airline told the Federal Court.

That would be fine, excepts everything about its fare selling software screams you are buying a seat on a particular flight.
From the changes in prices between the same "service" from one flight to the next, to the notin that you do not get a refund to a cancelled flight, rather than a credit, that is not what the marketing is telling you.
I would be stunned if they get away with that defence.

It is quite disgraceful behaviour from Goyder here at the Qan AGM. Attending for a friend.

He flies so high he suffers from lack of oxygen.

Would Goyder and the Garden Gnome be classed as doing insider trading with that volume of shares.
This scenario smells like the rat hole in my machinery shed whre a family of now deceased rats reside.

I find it ironic that Todd Sampson - a Guru in marketing and brand management - is on the Qantas board and has started to kill his own brand in the public eye. Todd has been there for the disintegration of the Qantas brand. So why would anyone want to hire him again? Clearly investors not too keen on him these days.

Opinion: No one copped more wrath from Qantas investors than this man

Executives are now flying economy "more often".

www.nzherald.co.nz

Todd Sampson survives Qantas investor anger, but for how long?

The former advertising executive said his experience would help repair the airline’s damaged brand and reputation.

There's no fixing Qantas. It's just about us accepting the new sh*t norm.

Ill say with the prices I'm paying for Qantas flights I'm tempted to put all my money in their shares.

apropos of a certain airline, the only work by an Archibald Prize winner (2003) I own is this:

.
Done in the back yard of a friend in (gritty) Tempe, it is the captured view of a plane on approach to landing on the main Sydney runway from the North.

Unsigned, it was a 15 minute job to appease/ pay off an $800 phone bill incurred by the artist.

It took that long???

 

[finicky]

it is the captured view of a plane on approach

I guess that's not the one that won him an Archibald. That red tail fin, lol.
They're all drunks in my limited experience.

Pointless, the money's just going straight into the pockets of the c suite & board.
