The existence of an exclusive hideaway for the country’s movers
and shakers where secret deals were done in private luxury first exploded into the public eye back in 2007.
Back then, the fact that Qantas spent hundreds of thousands of dollars wining and dining the nation’s political elite in ultra-exclusive VIP lounges was relatively unknown.
It was a time before Alan Joyce’s tenure as the CEO of Qantas had even started, when he was boss
of the comparatively lowly budget airline, Jetstar.
And unlike Anthony Albanese’s current slide in the polls leading up to an election in next year, the prospects back
in 2007 were rosy for Labor.
The election that was looming was the ‘Kevin 07’ landslide that would see Kevin Rudd become prime minister and John Howard lose his own seat.
The issue which blew open the ‘guilty secret’ of the Chairman’s Lounge then wasn’t about a prime minister’s privileges, although John Howard and Kevin Rudd
were certainly both members during their terms as PM.
But when broadcaster Steve Price – himself a long time Chairman’s Lounge member – revealed a politically charged remark made within the club’s hallowed walls, the cat was
out of the bag.
The political revelation – a comment by ex-rock star turned senator Peter Garrett that Labor would
change the policies it campaigned on if it
won government – did not deter his party from romping in on election day.
In contrast, the scandal currently engulfing Anthony Albanese about his Chairman’s Lounge membership and that of his ex-wife
Carmel Tebbutt, and their son Nathan could bring down the prime minister.
The exclusive Qantas Chairman’s Lounge (above) has been a well-kept secret for years, but it exploded into
the public conscience in 2007 as the result of
a political furore
Broadcaster Steve Price revealed he had been a Chairman’s Lounge member since 2002 during a row before the 2007 election won by Kevin Rudd which let the cat out of
the bag about the VIP club
The existence of the lounge was so little known back in 2007 that
in defending his disclosure of Garrett’s remark, Steve
Price had to explain what the private enclave actually was.
In a first person piece he wrote: ‘The Chairman’s Lounge is a
separate frequent flyers lounge away from
the crowded normal Qantas Club.
‘As its name implies, the people given access to it are approved
by the Qantas chairman, Margaret Jackson.
‘I have been a Chairman’s Lounge member since 2002.’
In his opinion piece, Price also revealed TV
entertainment reporter Richard Wilkins was also a member of lounge.
Wilkins had also been inside at the time and was his only witness to the remark Price said Garrett had made.
Other prominent media figures, such as 60 Minutes reporters, actors and performers, and well-known writers and sports people are
said to be among the lounge’s exclusive membership of around 6000.
Price went on to defend himself for reporting what some claimed
was a confidential conversation in a private place, but which exposed
him to criticism over his own membership for allegedly promoting Qantas on his radio show.
Back in 2007, Alan Joyce (left) was boss of the comparatively lowly
budget airline Jetstar, and then Qantas CEO Geoff Dixon (right) had the power over who made the cut
to the Chairman’s Lounge
One observer has described the relationship bet6ween leading
politicians such as PM Anthony Albanese and the former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce (above) as ‘alarmingly cosy’
‘Why on earth is Qantas giving a controversial shock jock membership of its Chairman’s Lounge, which is supposedly to
enable our elite politicians and business leaders some privacy from the hoi polloi?’ demanded Crikey reporter Stephen Mayne at the time.
‘The Chairman’s Lounge is meant to be all about discretion and
confidentiality,’ he said, accusing Price of breaking ‘a confidence’.
The following year, before he was succeeded as Qantas
CEO by Alan Joyce, Geoff Dixon was the sole gatekeeper of entry into the club’s hushed confines.
Qantas Chairman’s Lounge membership was ‘so exclusive that you have to be
personally invited by the airline’s chieftain’, Nine newspapers reported
in 2008.
‘A marvellous benefit of lounge membership is that the mega rich and powerful avoid
having to mingle with the riffraff who will be
travelling cattle class.
‘Having said that, members of the ultra-exclusive club
have included Pauline Hanson.
‘Another lounge member is Brad Cooper, who is currently
enjoying a prolonged exposure to cattle-class in Kirkconnell Correctional Centre.’ (Cooper was the former HIH insurance executive jailed
for eight years on fraud and bribery offences).
Membership of the elite lounge is confined to about 6000 Australians including
politicians from both sides, senior public servants, TV stars and actors
The ‘scandal’ currently engulfing Anthony Albanese
about his Chairman’s Lounge membership and that of his ex-wife
Carmel Tebbutt, and their son Nathan could bring down the prime minister
(above the PM with partner Jodie Haydon and ex-Qantas CEO Alan Joyce)
The report noted that politicians declaring membership
of the lounge ‘which most of their spouses got too’ in their pecuniary interests that year included
Liberal MPs of the day, Philip Ruddock, Bob Baldwin and Andrew Southcott.
Labor MPs with lounge privileges included Tanya Plibersek, Bob McMullan, and Sharon Grierson, and Martin Ferguson declared a bottle of Grange
hermitage as a gift from Qantas, as did Liberal, Christopher Pyne.
Asked if all MPs got the captain’s pick from Geoff Dixon, the airline’s spokesperson told Nine:
‘We like to retain a bit of mystery. Membership is by invitation only and
it is reviewed periodically.’
Fast forward to today, and nearly every single federal politician in the country has accepted free membership
of the controversial, invitation-only lounge with one even describing it as an ‘entitlement’.
Qantas and the Albanese government recently denied the ‘very, very high-end perk’ gives the airline a disproportionate level of influence over the country’s politicians.
They were commenting ahead of the launch of the new book The
Chairman’s Lounge by former Australian Financial Review columnist Joe Aston, which has stirred up the controversy.
A Daily Mail Australia audit of the members’ interest registers – in both Federal Parliament’s House
of Representatives and the Senate – revealed almost 93 per cent of
the nation’s leaders have been ‘gifted’ membership to the
lavish, all-inclusive lounge.
Mr Albanese has defended himself by saying he declared
all his benefits in pecuniary interest statements.
At a press conference this week, he repeated that all of his upgrades ‘have
been declared as appropriate. What’s appropriate is transparency.’
Apart from the PM, members include every one of his 22-person Cabinet, his seven-person Outer Ministry and all 12 assistant ministers.
PM Anthony Albanese and every member of his 22-person Cabinet, his seven-person Outer Ministry and all
12 assistant ministers are members of the exclusive Chairman’s Lounge
Entry to the country’s six opulent VIP clubs are suitably discreet, but once
inside, the designer lounges offer free à la carte fine dining,
table service and a discreet army of dedicated lounge attendants
On the Coalition side of parliament, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, deputy leader David Littleproud and former deputy Barnaby Joyce are also among the swathes of politicians who have disclosed they have taken up free
membership to the contentious club.
Bill Shorten is a member, Tanya Plibersek is still a
member and so is Teal MP, Zali Steggall.
Last year it was reported that Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairwoman Gina Cass-Gottlieb and
Australian Securities and Investments Commission chairman Joe Longo and some
of their deputies are members of the Chairman’s Lounge despite
regulating the airline.
Senior public servants in the club included Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet secretary Glyn Davis, deputy secretaries
Nadine Williams, Liz Hefren-Webb, Rachel Bacon and ambassador to Beijing, Scott Dewar.
Other Qantas freebies bestowed on members include numerous business class flight
upgrades, model Qantas aircrafts, frequent flyer points, and tickets to sporting and entertainment events.
Touted as ‘the most exclusive club in the country’, membership to the
Chairman’s Lounge is still veiled in secrecy.
The new book The Chairman’s Lounge by former Australian Financial Review
columnist Joe Aston (above) has stirred up the controversy
Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairwoman Gina Cass-Gottlieb and
Australian Securities and Investments Commission chairman Joe Longo are members
despite regulating the airline
Even the entrances to each of the country’s six opulent VIP clubs – in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth airports
– are suitably discreet.
Once inside, however, the designer lounges are noticeably luxurious, with free à la
carte fine dining, table service, a decadent selection of wines and Champagne and a
discreet army of dedicated lounge attendants.
Virgin Airlines has its own version of the VIP enclave, the ‘Beyond’ lounge.
Only a handful of federal politicians have relinquished their membership to the Qantas Chairman’s Lounge in the wake of the furore.
The select few to take a principled stand on the issue
include South Australian senator Barbara Pocock and former Wallabies star turned
ACT senator David Pocock, along with MPs Stephen Bates,
Queensland Green Elizabeth Watson-Brown, and Monique Ryan, a
Teal from Victoria.
Geoffrey Watson SC, a former counsel assisting the Independent Commission Against Corruption and a director of the Centre for
Public Integrity, has implored all politicians and policymakers to follow suit.
‘There are certain positions in life where you cannot take Chairman’s Club membership,’
he said.
‘You’re taking public money for the job and you are supposed to represent the
public. Why not sit with them while you’re waiting for a plane?’
Smile 2 – starring Naomi Scott, Lukas Gage and Jack
Nicholson’s son Ray – emerged as the winner after a horror movie
box office showdown.
The fright flick eclipsed hot contender Terrifier 3 for the top spot.
The Smile sequel starring Scott, 31, as a pop star who begins experiencing terrifying and inexplicable events as she prepares for
a world tour, opened wide in more than 3,600 theaters,
pulling in a payday of $23 million.
Ray, whose mom is Nicholson’s former partner
Rebecca Broussard, shocked fans with an eerie grin in the
new movie, which was near-identical to the Oscar-winner’s maniacal smile as
Jack Torrance in the 1980 Stanley Kubrick classic,
The Shining.
In a legendary scene, an insane Jack hacks at a bathroom door with an axe as his cowering wife
Wendy (Shelley Duvall) screams inside. As he busts a hole in the door, he sticks his face through,
grins and exclaims: ‘Here’s Johnny!’ in an improvised line.
The original Smile, released in September 2022, and starring Sosie
Bacon, was a sleeper hit, which was well received and earned $217,
408,513 globally.
Smile 2 has received a 83-percent critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an 83-percent Popcornmeter rating from audiences.
Smile 2 stars Jack Nicholson’s son Ray (left). In the new horror, he recreated the Oscar-winner’s maniacal smile as
Jack Torrance in the 1980 Stanley Kubrick classic, The Shining
Smile 2’s big win at the box office has production companies Paramount Pictures and Temple Hill beaming from
ear to ear. The fright flight opened in first place with a payday of $23 million

politicians from both sides, senior public servants, TV stars and actors
The ‘scandal’ currently engulfing Anthony Albanese
about his Chairman’s Lounge membership and that of his ex-wife
Carmel Tebbutt, and their son Nathan could bring down the prime minister
(above the PM with partner Jodie Haydon and ex-Qantas CEO Alan Joyce)
The report noted that politicians declaring membership
of the lounge ‘which most of their spouses got too’ in their pecuniary interests that year included
Liberal MPs of the day, Philip Ruddock, Bob Baldwin and Andrew Southcott.
Labor MPs with lounge privileges included Tanya Plibersek, Bob McMullan, and Sharon Grierson, and Martin Ferguson declared a bottle of Grange
hermitage as a gift from Qantas, as did Liberal, Christopher Pyne.
Asked if all MPs got the captain’s pick from Geoff Dixon, the airline’s spokesperson told Nine:
‘We like to retain a bit of mystery. Membership is by invitation only and
it is reviewed periodically.’
Fast forward to today, and nearly every single federal politician in the country has accepted free membership
of the controversial, invitation-only lounge with one even describing it as an ‘entitlement’.
Qantas and the Albanese government recently denied the ‘very, very high-end perk’ gives the airline a disproportionate level of influence over the country’s politicians.
They were commenting ahead of the launch of the new book The
Chairman’s Lounge by former Australian Financial Review columnist Joe Aston, which has stirred up the controversy.
A Daily Mail Australia audit of the members’ interest registers – in both Federal Parliament’s House
of Representatives and the Senate – revealed almost 93 per cent of
the nation’s leaders have been ‘gifted’ membership to the
lavish, all-inclusive lounge.
Mr Albanese has defended himself by saying he declared
all his benefits in pecuniary interest statements.
At a press conference this week, he repeated that all of his upgrades ‘have
been declared as appropriate. What’s appropriate is transparency.’
Apart from the PM, members include every one of his 22-person Cabinet, his seven-person Outer Ministry and all 12 assistant ministers.
PM Anthony Albanese and every member of his 22-person Cabinet, his seven-person Outer Ministry and all
12 assistant ministers are members of the exclusive Chairman’s Lounge
Entry to the country’s six opulent VIP clubs are suitably discreet, but once
inside, the designer lounges offer free à la carte fine dining,
table service and a discreet army of dedicated lounge attendants
On the Coalition side of parliament, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, deputy leader David Littleproud and former deputy Barnaby Joyce are also among the swathes of politicians who have disclosed they have taken up free
membership to the contentious club.
Bill Shorten is a member, Tanya Plibersek is still a
member and so is Teal MP, Zali Steggall.
Last year it was reported that Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairwoman Gina Cass-Gottlieb and
Australian Securities and Investments Commission chairman Joe Longo and some
of their deputies are members of the Chairman’s Lounge despite
regulating the airline.
Senior public servants in the club included Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet secretary Glyn Davis, deputy secretaries
Nadine Williams, Liz Hefren-Webb, Rachel Bacon and ambassador to Beijing, Scott Dewar.
Other Qantas freebies bestowed on members include numerous business class flight
upgrades, model Qantas aircrafts, frequent flyer points, and tickets to sporting and entertainment events.
Touted as ‘the most exclusive club in the country’, membership to the
Chairman’s Lounge is still veiled in secrecy.

Even the entrances to each of the country’s six opulent VIP clubs – in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth airports
– are suitably discreet.
Once inside, however, the designer lounges are noticeably luxurious, with free à la
carte fine dining, table service, a decadent selection of wines and Champagne and a
discreet army of dedicated lounge attendants.
Virgin Airlines has its own version of the VIP enclave, the ‘Beyond’ lounge.
Only a handful of federal politicians have relinquished their membership to the Qantas Chairman’s Lounge in the wake of the furore.
The select few to take a principled stand on the issue
include South Australian senator Barbara Pocock and former Wallabies star turned
ACT senator David Pocock, along with MPs Stephen Bates,
Queensland Green Elizabeth Watson-Brown, and Monique Ryan, a
Teal from Victoria.
Geoffrey Watson SC, a former counsel assisting the Independent Commission Against Corruption and a director of the Centre for
Public Integrity, has implored all politicians and policymakers to follow suit.
‘There are certain positions in life where you cannot take Chairman’s Club membership,’
he said.
‘You’re taking public money for the job and you are supposed to represent the
public. Why not sit with them while you’re waiting for a plane?’

Smile 2 – starring Naomi Scott, Lukas Gage and Jack
Nicholson’s son Ray – emerged as the winner after a horror movie
box office showdown.
The fright flick eclipsed hot contender Terrifier 3 for the top spot.
The Smile sequel starring Scott, 31, as a pop star who begins experiencing terrifying and inexplicable events as she prepares for
a world tour, opened wide in more than 3,600 theaters,
pulling in a payday of $23 million.
Ray, whose mom is Nicholson’s former partner
Rebecca Broussard, shocked fans with an eerie grin in the
new movie, which was near-identical to the Oscar-winner’s maniacal smile as
Jack Torrance in the 1980 Stanley Kubrick classic,
The Shining.
In a legendary scene, an insane Jack hacks at a bathroom door with an axe as his cowering wife
Wendy (Shelley Duvall) screams inside. As he busts a hole in the door, he sticks his face through,
grins and exclaims: ‘Here’s Johnny!’ in an improvised line.
The original Smile, released in September 2022, and starring Sosie
Bacon, was a sleeper hit, which was well received and earned $217,
408,513 globally.
Smile 2 has received a 83-percent critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an 83-percent Popcornmeter rating from audiences.
