It's been revealed that Transport Minister Catherine King blocked negotiations with Qatar Airways over its request to double flights into Australia.

On Thursday, at a Senate inquiry into the matter, the Department of Transport and Infrastructure said it sent a negotiating mandate to Ms King, with a rejection in its response.

The decision to block Qatar's request for 28 additional weekly flights has become a significant issue for the Albanese government.

The extra services were supported by Australia's tourism industry and several states.

Former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce also hasn't escaped the firing line, with Mr Joyce facing the prospect of jail time if he fails to front the inquiry.

The former Qantas boss has been warned he must face the inquiry when he returns to Australia from a European holiday.

Corruption runs deep from federal down to local government...
Forensic audits and investigations into who owns our politicians is desperately needed

I wonder if they mean she “physically blocked” them from negotiations?
It’s quite possible, she is bloody huge! 🐮

I do not care who did the dirty work but the PM must take responsibility for such a terrible decision. He should have asked questions.

Hubris bolstered by ignorance and the holding of a political office doesn't constitute a knowledge of its responsibilities and obligations, as evidenced by Labor's ministers federally and statewide. They don't deserve our respect or deference.

The best way to serve the national interest of Australia would be to cut QANTAS landing rights at Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane airports by 50%

Why does Australia love to create all kinds of stupid problems for itself? You're not happy without some manufactured drama...actually, you're not happy then either 🙄
