  16. Joe Aston got the kind of book launch every first time author dreams of – massive amounts of free publicity online, in newspapers and on TV and
    radio. 

    And it was all thanks to Anthony Albanese’s ill-informed attack on Aston over what was written in his book, The Chairman’s Lounge – The Inside Story of how Qantas sold us out.

    Despite the resultant terrible publicity – which
    has led to him being called ‘upgrade Albo’ – and calls for an inquiry, Aston told Daily Mail Australia his book
    is ‘not a hit job on Anthony Albanese’.

    Aston insisted he’s ‘not trying to get a scalp’, but reiterated that the Prime
    Minister ‘had a direct line to Alan Joyce’.

    The book claims Mr Albanese got 22 upgrades from economy on Qantas flights
    by personally requesting them from the airline’s then CEO Mr Joyce –
    which the Prime Minister has categorically denied.

    According to unnamed Qantas ‘insiders’, 11 of the 22 flights Mr
    Albanese got upgrades for were ‘privately funded’ and included overseas trips to Rome,
    London, Los Angeles and Honolulu. 

    But instead of addressing the claim, Mr Albanese chose to shoot the messenger
    and, in turn, shot himself in the foot. 

    He said Aston was using the accusations to sell books and said he was
    hiding his employment history. 

    ‘I don’t see declarations that he’s a former Liberal Party staffer… I don’t see declarations he’s a former
    Qantas employee,’ the Prime Minister said. 

    But before the book even gets to the contents page there is a photo of Aston that
    refers to him as the then-Qantas corporate communications senior adviser.

    And the first chapter of the book reveals that he worked for then-Liberal MP Bruce Baird,
    who held the southern Sydney seat of Cook before Scott
    Morrison. 

    ‘My professional history is not a secret or not disclosed,
    it’s in the first line of the first page of the book,’ Aston said on Tuesday night, just before his book launch. 

    Though he was grateful for the free publicity
    Mr Albanese’s response gave the book, Aston was still ‘staggered’ at the untrue claims
    about him the Prime Minister made. 

    ‘He’s under enormous pressure and I know, I’ve seen this many times with
    public figures and leaders who struggle to see their own part in it, the terrible circumstances that they create,
    ‘ he said.

    Extravagant Qantas perk Anthony Albanese FAILED to declare is
    revealed… after two days of denials

    Asked if Mr Albanese had been poorly advised in his attack,
    Aston, who is a former Australian Financial Review columnist, wonders if the Prime Minister ‘even listens
    to advice at this point’.

    ‘All he’s doing is talking around the issue and he’s blaming
    me and he’s blaming other MP’s for also taking upgrades (on Qantas flights).

    ‘He’s avoiding the only thing that he can’t talk about, which is,
    did you ask Qantas for confirmed upgrades on your private holidays when you were the Transport
    Minister? The answer is “yes” and he’s desperately trying to avoid saying it.’

    Smelling blood, Opposition leader Peter Dutton said the Prime Minister should refer himself to the anti-corruption commission over the flight upgrades.

    Coming on top of Mr Albanese’s tone deaf purchase of a $4.3million clifftop mansion while so many people are struggling to pay their
    mortgage or rent, the latest blow to his credibility has led to calls for him to resign.

    Aston refuses to be drawn on this, though. 

    ‘I never expected this (part of the book) to even this part to get this far.
    I really am shocked at how it’s blown up.

    Yes vote in the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum 

    Among the movers and shakers at Joe Aston’s book launch in the ritzy Hemmesphere club
    in Sydney was Tabcorp director David Gallop (pictured)

    Paul Barry (pictured in blue shirt), the host of the ABC’s Media
    Watch show, was also at the launch

    ‘So to the extent that it has, I would say … anyone who reads the book will learn that this book
    is not a hit job on Anthony Albanese. This book is about Qantas. 

    ‘Anthony Albanese is an example of how Qantas influences
    politicians on both sides of the aisle, Labor, Liberal, National, you name it.
    They’ve been doing it for more than a generation.

    ‘They’re the best influence peddler in Australia.

    I’m not here trying to get a scalp. That’s not what this book is about and it never was.’

    But the conversation Daily Mail Australia had with Aston mirrors the conversations being had across Australia and eventually winds up back on Mr Albanese. 

    ‘Even I’ve underestimated how fed up the public is with the freebie mindset of politicians,’ he said.

    Aston’s book

    his book The Chairman’s Lounge was launched

    ‘And unfortunately for Albanese, he’s been in politics a long time
    and that kind of behaviour is quite normalised to him, is
    what I’ve seen. 

    ‘I mean, he loves the free concert tickets and sitting at the front row of the Australian Open Tennis. 

    ‘I went to the Australian Open Tennis as a journalist almost every year for 12 years and he was the only Prime Minister (I saw there).

    ‘Those tickets are worth thousands of dollars to sit
    in the front row of the International Grand Slam.
    He’s the first Prime Minister who I’ve ever seen do that.

    ‘That to me is a sign that he doesn’t quite get what it looks like to
    others when he’s on the gravy train. And I think (the claims in the book
    are) just another example of that.’

    In Australian politics it’s regular practise for an MP’s travel to be
    booked in economy, then someone in their office phones the airline and
    asks if their flight can be upgraded. 

    The difference with the Prime Minister is that ‘he had a very direct line to Alan Joyce,’ Aston said.

    ‘The other thing is there’s a difference between an upgrade where it’s in the booking and
    if the seat’s empty when the flight closes, you’ll
    get upgraded.

    ‘This is different. This is a confirmed upgrade where the
    ticket is converted and you are guaranteed. You’re not going to the airport crossing your fingers going “Geez, I hope there is a spare seat”.

    ‘You’re guaranteed. You turn up knowing you’re getting
    a seat and the only person at Qantas who can issue those types of upgrades is the CEO.
    No other executive can do that.

    ‘So it is beyond question that Alan joints authorised these upgrades (for Anthony Albanese).’

    Aston enjoyed many upgrades to the pointy end of planes during
    his time as a travel journalist, and understands the attraction for politicians
    to get up there. 

    ‘These things are tempting and it’s human nature too.
    Once you’ve experienced the front of the plane, it’s very hard to go back.

    ‘For politicians, they run around with all these staff
    and they’ve got chauffeured cars and they fly in business,
    but they don’t get paid like CEOs …

    ‘They’re not in a situation where they can afford to go flying around in the front of the plane on personal travel. 

    ‘A normal person would say “Therefore I won’t (fly business class). But (for politicians) it’s a culture of entitlement.’

    Aston is careful to point out that most people would say politicians are ‘very well paid compared to the average worker’.

    But that doesn’t stop some MPs from desperately seeking a free ride, whether it’s a flight upgrade, concert tickets or the executive box at sporting events. 

    Late on Wednesday night, a spokeswoman Mr Albanese said ‘The Prime Minister did not ever call Alan Joyce seeking an upgrade’.

    ‘All travel has been appropriately declared and is a matter of public record.’

    Daily Mail Australia has contacted Qantas for comment.

    It has been dubbed ‘the most exclusive club in the country’ and comes with a distinct black card.

    Members include senior-ranking MPs such as ministers, state premiers and the Prime Minister, leaders of major unions and sporting groups, Qantas ambassadors, selected A-list celebrities, major corporate figures and high-profile media personalities.

    The clubs can be found in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide airports but are not signposted – you have to know where to look.

    Hey everyone! If you’re a cinnamon lover like me, let me introduce you to the king of spices: Ceylon cinnamon. Known as “true cinnamon,” it’s not just a flavorful addition to recipes—it’s a powerhouse of health benefits and versatility.

    What makes Ceylon cinnamon so special? For starters, it’s milder and sweeter than the regular Cassia cinnamon most of us are used to. Whether I’m brewing a cozy Ceylon cinnamon tea, sprinkling powder on my oatmeal, or simmering sticks in soups and desserts, its subtle flavor elevates every dish without overpowering it.

    I love using organic Ceylon cinnamon because it’s pure and free of harmful chemicals. If you’re health-conscious, this is the way to go. Ceylon cinnamon has significantly lower levels of coumarin compared to Cassia, making it safer for everyday use. Plus, it’s packed with antioxidants, which help fight inflammation and support overall wellness.

    One of my favorite uses? Turning sticks into tea! Just steep a few in hot water, add a splash of honey, and enjoy a soothing drink that feels like a warm hug. And don’t get me started on the powder—it’s perfect for baking, smoothies, or even spicing up your morning coffee.

    If you’re curious about incorporating Ceylon cinnamon into your routine, blogs about its benefits, recipes, and creative uses are a must-read. They helped me discover its incredible versatility, from enhancing meals to improving health. Seriously, once you go true cinnamon, there’s no going back!

    Do you use Ceylon cinnamon?

    I’d love to hear your favorite recipes or tips.

    Let’s swap ideas and celebrate this amazing spice!

    Hey friends! Have you heard about Ceylon Cinnamon Vitamins? If you’re into health and wellness like me—especially if you’re vegan—you’re going to want to know why these supplements are such a hit.

    Ceylon cinnamon, often called “true cinnamon,” is already a superfood known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. But taking it in capsules or as a supplement makes it even easier to reap its amazing benefits without having to sprinkle it on everything.

    One of the biggest perks of Ceylon Cinnamon Vitamins is their versatility. They’re great for supporting blood sugar regulation, improving digestion, and even helping with weight management. If you’re wondering “How much per day?” most capsules recommend 1,000 to 2,000 mg daily, but always check the label and consult your doctor to find what’s best for you.

    For vegans, these supplements are a dream. They’re plant-based, free of animal-derived ingredients, and packed with natural goodness. Plus, they’re super convenient—you don’t have to brew tea or cook to get your daily dose.

    But let’s talk results. Ceylon cinnamon is known to curb sugar cravings and support metabolism, making it a popular choice for weight loss. And while it has many benefits, be mindful of side effects if you take too much. Overdosing on cinnamon can lead to liver strain due to coumarin, but with Ceylon cinnamon (which has lower coumarin levels), this risk is much smaller.

    Blogs about Ceylon Cinnamon Vitamins are packed with tips, science-backed facts, and reviews to help you make the most of this superfood.

    Trust me, once you add these to your routine, you’ll feel the difference.

    Have you tried them yet?

    investiture of at minimum a few of my weekly measure of amount of
    time iin my plan. It’s the same as rummaging into the
    chaff to find the wheat. Or maybe, whatever illustration performs
    best for you. Still, stting in front of the desktop computer is most likely as bad for you as tobacco and fried potato chips.
