Betoota Talks

Over the last few years, QANTAS has become a toxic brand in the eyes of Australians - and for good reason. The illegal sackings, the price gouging, the blaming of passengers for logistical f*ck ups. This week, The Betoota Advocate talks to the man who had detailed this catastrophic  downfall. Joe Aston’s ‘The Chairman’s Lounge’ is one of the most explosive books of the year - detailing the scandals and drama of Australia’s once favourite airlines.

Queensland-based former CFMEU National President, Jade Ingham joins The Betoota Advocate podcast this week. He's currently removed from his role, as the trade union gets forced into administration by the Albanese Government. Ingham explains what the CFMEU is, what it stands for, and what drew him to the union movement. He argues that the CFMEU has been stitched up by 60 Minutes and the Nine Newspapers - and that all 100,000 plus members feel betrayed by the Labor Party.
