Pharmacy Guild coming to you from the Chairman’s Lounge

Labor has been remarkably kind to the chemists’ lobby group recently, but we suspect that’s more due to their choice of lobbyist than airline lounge access.

The Qantas Chairman’s Lounge is grounded in exclusivity. Imagine our surprise when Pharmacy Guild of Australia Trent Twomey was spotted there recently.

Mainly, why is the head of an industry group and pharmacist from Far North Queensland even a member? Beyond the obvious chairmen, CEOs and politicians, invites are given to those who spend the most on Qantas air travel. Maybe Qantas was just glad to find a group that hates market competition as much as they do.
