From the must-read journalist on how power, money and influence work in this country, the full story of how one of the nation’s favourite brands brought itself to ground.
Before Covid, both Qantas and its CEO Alan Joyce were flying high, the darlings of customers, staff and investors. After Covid hit, only money seemed to mattered – in particular, the company’s share price and extraordinary executive bonuses.
How did things go so badly wrong? Why were customers at the end of the queue? Drawing on his incendiary reporting for the Australian Financial Review, Joe Aston’s new book, The Chairman’s Lounge, tells the full story of how one of the nation’s favourite brands brought itself to ground. This is more than the tale of an airline, it is a story about money, power, corporate influence and the vital importance of investigative journalism. In conversation with Ronald Mizen.
Pre-purchase your copy of The Chairman's Lounge with ticket. The book will be released on Monday October 28. Your pre-purchased book will be available for collection or delivery from The Book Cow Kingston.
