QANTAS becomes a National Shame

In recent years, QANTAS appears to have lost the skill of delivering passengers and their luggage to the same city.

Some will try to say it's the fault of capitalism. It's crony capitalism that is actually to blame.

Crony capitalism is the network of cosy relationships between selected corporate mates and the government. Unlike actual capitalism, it's about using the government to squash competition and secure preferential treatment from the government.

QANTAS has received billions in taxpayer handouts in the last few years alone. The government has blocked competitors like Qatar Airways from entering the market. All of this is a form of corrupt crony capitalism and Australia pays for it.

It's the government getting involved in the market that has allowed QANTAS and Alan Joyce to pull off their heist on Australians.
