Anthony Albanese accuses the opposition of siding with Qantas 'when it sacked and outsourced thousands of its workforce'
Liberal MP Melissa Price asked Anthony Albanese in question time when Qantas chief Alan Joyce was last at Kirribilli House, the Lodge or onboard the prime minister's private plane. The prime minister hit back, saying the question should have been directed at former PM Scott Morrison.
'The last time he was there, Scott Morrison was the prime minister of Australia,' Albanese says. 'The leader of the opposition went on 2GB last week and just asserted this to be a fact. It is a lie, it was a lie from the leader of the opposition'. Albanese went on to accuse the opposition of siding with Qantas 'when it sacked and outsourced thousands of its workforce'

The comments come after the leader of the opposition said he would hold a second referendum if the Voice were to fail, and if he were elected in the next term. “The leader of the opposition of course has since then committed to if he’s ever elected prime minister, to have another referendum if this referendum is defeated,” Mr Albanese said during Question Time on Monday. “Despite the fact that a majority of the process – occurred under the former government. “It was the former government that established a process under Tony Abbott, it was the former government that appointed Tom Calma and Marcia Langton, it was the former government that appointed Julian Leeser and Patrick Dodson to share the joint parliamentary enquiry. “It’s unfortunate that the leader of the opposition has chosen politics over substance.”
