My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development. Darren from Botany is a 52-year-old single dad who has been working as Qantas ground crew for 24 years. He was stood down in March. Darren said he was forced to sell his house to care for his kids and for his dad, who has dementia. He was one of the 2,000 Qantas workers sacked this week. Why is this government congratulating itself and using marketing slogans while workers like Darren are left behind?
