Qantas shareholders vote against the company's executive pay report; Indigenous advocate Mechelle Turvey named WA's Australian of the Year; and in sports, Daniel Ricciardo downplays talks of potential move to Red Bull.
Indigenous advocate Mechelle Turvey named WA's Australian of the YearQantas shareholders have voted overwhelmingly against the company's executive pay report, after a series of scandals damaged the airline’s reputation.
It is the first time Qantas has received a no vote of 25 per cent or more on its remuneration report. Ms Turvey says her life took a different path after the death of her 15-year-old son, who was fatally assaulted coming home from school in Perth in 2022. A Federal Court judge ruled the federal government does not have a legal obligation to repatriate 31 Australian women and children who have been forcibly held in a Syrian detention camp for four years.
Save the Children CEO Matt Tinkler says the not-for-profit organisation is exploring avenues to appeal the court decision.
