Anthony Albanese has defiantly claimed he has “always” acted appropriately as he dodged questions about whether or not he personally solicited flight upgrades from former Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce. He accused Opposition Leader Peter Dutton of being “obsessed” with making personal attacks against himself and his family as he repeatedly asserted he had been transparent, but the same couldn’t be said for his opponent.
Asked whether he had ever directly contacted Mr Joyce for upgrades, Mr Albanese said the only conversations he could recall with the former chief executive about the flights related to the first direct Perth to London flight; and the first Qantas/ Emirates A380 flight to Dubai — which were not commercial flights. He further added that ten of the 22 flights in question were during the period of the leadership challenge between Mr Albanese and former Labor leader Bill Shorten.
