Qantas boss Alan Joyce is generous when it comes to making sure our federal parliamentarians travel the skies in comfort.

The national carrier invites all 76 senators and 150 members of the House of Representatives to the national carrier’s prestigious Chairman’s Lounge, the most exclusive club in the country.

It’s one of the most brazen lobbying rackets around.

But Margin Call can reveal Joyce’s Qantas, now under the chairmanship of AFL president Richard Goyder, has called an urgent review of the current membership list.

We can confirm the Chairman’s Lounge membership of controversial independent Queensland Senator Fraser Anning is now officially under review, following his comments on the weekend after the terrorist attack in Christchurch.

Qantas has refused to comment on any review.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke.
