Qantas' record-breaking fine
from The Daily Aus · host The Daily Aus
A landmark Federal Court decision has hit Qantas with Australia's largest workplace penalty in corporate history. The airline has been ordered to pay $90 million for illegally sacking more than 1,800 workers during the pandemic — money that comes on top of a $120 million compensation deal the airline has already agreed to. It’s been nearly five years since we first began hearing about this case, and there have been plenty of twists and turns in the years since. Today, we’ll take you through everything you need to know about this case, including this week’s court ruling.
