00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: Leslie omen with us from Australia. Good morning, good to

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: have you on the program. As always, thank you. Quantas

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: to face a pretty hefty fine. This is for outsourcing

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: ground staff.

5
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: This long running dispute, very long running, yes, massive fine.

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: Said to be the largest case of illegal sackings in

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 2: Australia's history. Just to give you a small background, back

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, during the COVID pandemic, Quantus made the

9
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: decision to outsource its ground handling staff, which included baggage

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: handlers and cleaners and the like. Now then come forward

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: a little bit and the Transport Workers Union decided that

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: they would take Quantus to court and sue them for

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: that illegal sacking. So that's what happened, and earlier this

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 2: year Quantus was found guilty of the illegal sacking of

15
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: all those workers. Now come to yesterday and the Federal

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: Court has decided that Quantus will be fined ninety million

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: dollars for those illegal sackings and fifty million of that

18
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: will be going to the Transport Workers' Union for the workers.

19
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 2: Well that's what Justice Michael Lee has suggested happen, and

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: the other forty million will be to sell what happens

21
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: with the other forty million will be decided at a

22
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 2: later date.

23
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: This shark Atteck now the beach closed. Another shark aitek

24
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: New South Wales.

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: Yes, the second one in the roughly a month. What

26
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: happened was yesterday morning early Brad Ross was out serving

27
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: at Capareita Beach. It's a beach between Tweedheads and Byron

28
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: Bay and northern New South Wales and Brad found that

29
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: he had an unwanted visitor and that unwanted visitor was

30
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: a large great white shark, probably about four meters and

31
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: it decided that it took a liking to his board

32
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: and chomped it in half, left a massive bitemark out

33
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: of the board which was now in two. And unfortunately

34
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: he wasn't hurt. He was able to get back back

35
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: to shore. But his border is a lot, a lot aware.

36
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: Thank goodness, Thank goodness, Leslie, thank goodness he is okay.

37
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: I did see his borden you run, there's a giant

38
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: chunk out of it. I wouldn't be getting back in

39
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: the water. Thanks for that update, Lesslie, Omen's Australia correspondent.
