Almost a year after the swift and sudden demise of Bonza, some relief for its directors came this month with ASIC confirming it would take no further action against them. Absent any further evidence, the decision effectively draws a line under the collapse of a carrier that started with dreams of uniting “Allstralia” and ended in a storm of tears, recriminations and misfortune – but did it ever have a shot to begin with? Adam and Jake look back at the Bonza saga and what could have been. Plus, surprising news from Western Sydney as Qantas clarifies just which of its airlines will be operating from the new airport at launch – and it's not the ones we expected.

Ωστόσο, η Qantas σε συνεδρίαση της Γερουσίας για το θέμα, είπε πως μια τέτοια πρόταση θα αναγκάσει τις εταιρίες να μετακυλίσουν το επιπλέον κόστος στους πελάτες

In this episode, we review recent half-yearly results and market volatility, discussing notable movements in the dummy portfolio compared to the benchmark, as well as significant shifts in commodities such as crude oil. We dive into reporting-season surprises from companies like Qantas, Hello World, Pepper Money, and Karoon Energy, exploring the lack of timely “confession season” disclosures and how that impacts investment decisions. The topic of whether to pause stock purchases during reporting season is debated, expressing our frustration over abrupt CFO departures and earnings “shock” announcements. We conclude with a “Pulled Pork” deep dive on mining services group Perenti (PRN), analyzing cash-flow quirks, forecast earnings, and overall QAV metrics.

Despite relief from Australians after being spared the worst from ex-cyclone Alfred - the storm is still causing havoc. New reports show hundreds of trees are down and over 350,000 homes and businesses have lost power in Queensland and New South Wales. Flooding continues to be an issue in areas such as Lismore, where 13 defence force personnel were injured in a crash. Australian correspondent Murray Olds says the storm is still packing an 'enormous punch'. "Qantas and Jetstar were hoping to resume flights by Sunday morning - the latest news there, Brisbane Airport has reopened, but there's still very strong winds to the point where it's not safe to get these planes in the air."

Since the departure of Alan Joyce in late 2023, new Qantas CEO Vanessa Hudson has largely eschewed her predecessor's bombastic camera-friendly style, instead keeping her head down and focused on rebuilding Australia's trust in the Flying Kangaroo. Passenger experience has become the watchword, with the recent announcement of another solid half-yearly profit being accompanied by the promise of a cabin refit for 42 aging 737-800s as the airline awaits more of its new-generation Airbus fleet – but is Hudson's approach bearing fruit? Adam and Jake discuss the delicate balancing act and whether Qantas is beginning to climb out of the trust deficit the old management left behind. Plus, Qatar Airways' bid for a stake in Virgin gets the all-important green light from the government, and how can the aviation sector address the lingering gender pay gap?

Friday headlines: Australian divorce rates at lowest in half a century, Penny Wong accuses coalition of ‘gunboat diplomacy’, mystery surrounds death of legendary Hollywood actor, and Katy Perry is going to space on all-woman crewed Blue Origin mission. Deep Dive: The government has approved a deal that will let Qatar Airways buy a quarter of Virgin Australia. The deal means an extra 28 flights a week – and there’s hope more competition in the sector equals cheaper airfares going forward. The Treasurer Jim Chalmers yesterday greenlit the deal with some caveats – including a guarantee of an Aussies on the Virgin board and protection of customer data. You might remember the political shitfight that was Labor knocking back a bid by the same airline to operate more routes in Australia in 2023 – with the Opposition and others accusing the Government of being far too cosy with Qantas.

As Rex has limped on in administration over the past half-year, with prospects for a sale dimming, the question has occasionally been asked: might the government step in more forcefully to keep its essential services in the air? Now we have our answer: if the administrators can't find a buyer, the government is looking at the option to buy Rex itself, which would make the carrier the first in Australia to be publicly owned since the privatisation of Qantas around 30 years ago. But what would await the government if it were to stump up the cash for the ailing airline – and is it a good idea in the first place? Adam and Jake discuss what might be behind the decision, and whether it's scuppered any chance for a commercial sale. Plus, with the ACCC looking to wave the Qatar deal through, are Virgin Australia flights to Doha now all but inevitable?

On February 18 2024, Sydney was shaken by the disappearance and tragic deaths of television presenter Jesse Baird, 26, and his partner, Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies, 29. Their bodies were found in surfboard bags near Goulburn, and ex-NSW police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon, 29, was charged with their premeditated killings. Authorities allege he used his police-issued gun after stalking Baird, his ex, for months, with Davies an alleged collateral victim. In this episode, Tim and Xanthe reflect on the case, from the early days of the investigation to the current case being examined by police. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The news came like an assassin in the night: Paul Jones, the long-rumoured frontrunner to replace Jayne Hrdlicka as CEO of Virgin Australia, was out of contention following pushback by the powerful TWU.

They offer advice on prioritizing flexible points and planning a strategy to collect points in multiple currencies, such as starting with Chase and then moving to other programs after reaching 5/24.

Is Qantas Airlines safe? Two recent events have led the Australian media and others to raise that question.The first safety issue was in November 2024. A tool was left in the engine of a Qantas A380 for nearly a month before it was discovered. A few days later, a Qantas 737 had an engine failure while taking off from Sydney. The Australian media covered these events extensively, raising concerns about Qantas' safety. The Flight Safety Detectives look at whether these events establish a pattern of concern. One factor here is that the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) investigates events that would likely not generate a detailed report if they happened on an aircraft registered in the U.S. or elsewhere.John Goglia and Todd Curtis also discuss a 2020 fuel dumping event over Los Angeles that resulted in many school children being exposed to fuel. The FAA issued a report that stated that fuel dumping is relatively rare in the U.S., averaging about 15 events per year from 2015 to 2020. Hear how and why these events occur.
