I don't like the implied false dichotomy between opening up the kernel and better security. You can definitely have both. Otherwise it's a good report.

Qatar’s ghost flights – an open secret within the aviation sector – are “taking the piss” out of Australia’s strict aviation laws, industry sources say, and are occurring despite the Albanese government rejecting the airline’s formal request to increase flights out of concern the extra capacity would go against Australia’s “national interest”.

Honestly, I don't blame Qatar Airways. Good on them for getting around this protectionist nonsense policy.

Air travel is already quite expense and carbon heavy. Actively blocking routes makes the system less efficient, expensive, and will emit more carbon. Isn't that also against Australia's "national interest"?

Why are comments even open on this article? They're just terrible tabloid trash.

I'm very glad Hussein is out but I don't know if Sean Fraser will do a good job. His previous role as immigration minister let the country consistently exceed its immigration targets, which only made the housing crisis worse. He'll be looking into the consequences of his own actions on housing.

He already refrained from building more houses directly and "subsidizing", not investing, "below-market" housing instead, so that's not a good sign already.

From a structural standpoint, merging housing and infrastructure into a single ministry makes sense. These two issues go hand in hand.
