Shane WrightPANELIST
This is a left field, just to finish up, Treasurer, but the Western Sydney Airport will open and there's more than $5 billion of federal taxpayers' money in that.
Shane WrightPANELIST
It's the first time that the country's actually had competing airports, major airports, in the same capital city I'm just wondering you've talked about productivity you've talked about competition whether the fact that Western City Airport's opening will put downward pressure on airfares into Sydney in particular or provide an outlet for some more competition to our Qantas slash Virgin duopoly on the domestic market
Jim ChalmersGUEST
Well, I mean, it certainly means more competition in terms of it gives the good people of Sydney another option and obviously freight options and all the rest of it as well.
Jim ChalmersGUEST
So it can only be a good thing for competition and for the economy more broadly.

Rob TierneyHOST
In this episode we're looking at disability.
Rob TierneyHOST
An article where a disabled person had to make a 14 hour train ride due to Qantas not being able to meet his accessibility needs.
Rob TierneyHOST
The article comes from a.u.news.yahoo.com entitled, Armrest Mess Forces Disability Advocate on 14-Hour Trip, written by Sarah Spina Matthews, dated 6th of October, 2026.
Rob TierneyHOST
A disability advocate says he was forced to take a 14-hour train journey home after an airline was unable to meet his accessibility needs on a flight.
Rob TierneyHOST
Mark Pietsch, who has a muscular skeletal movement disorder as well as arthritis, said he paid for two seats and extra leg room on his Qantas flights between Sydney and Melbourne to attend a disability conference in 2025.
Rob TierneyHOST
The New South Wales Director of Physical Disability Australia said he spoke for hours to the airline ahead of his flight to ensure the armrests between his seats moved up as he requires extra space on flights due to his limited mobility.
Rob TierneyHOST
But when he got on the flight, he said he was stuck in front of everyone, unable to take his seat as the armrests did not move.
Rob TierneyHOST
After initially being told he would have to take a different flight, Mr.

Charles FirthHOST
Internationally.
Charles FirthHOST
Qantas are going to start flights next year.
Charles FirthHOST
Like they're, in typical Qantas fashion, absolutely no rush at all to get you to your destination.
Charles FirthHOST
It's a long ways off, but it's happening.
Charles FirthHOST
Singapore Airlines are flying there.
Francois JacobsGUEST
So obviously we're thinking, oh, is this going to be accessible? And it won't be accessible by default if it's not deliberately made to be so.
Francois JacobsGUEST
So we are going to have the connection and we will definitely do whatever we can to ensure that when it does roll out next year, wider than currently just Qantas and a few airports, that it will be digitally accessible.
Steve RichardsonHOST
All right, so let's talk now more specifically about airports.
Steve RichardsonHOST
This is one that's been cropping up, I think, for a while.
