  “You get some of me but not tomorrow as they want me in as soon as I can make it happen. This is the one time when they say jump and I ask how high due the financial gains the company could benefit from and it being important enough for the client to appear in person.”
  
  “Well I get an extra night of you at least! I wonder what we could do with that? Meantime, what about food? I am starving and delicious as it was a second breakfast is not quite enough to replenish me!”
  
  “Well get something on and we’ll sort that out first.”
  
  We drove into town and decided that a daytime visit to Charlie’s was going to be the answer. I parked in the bar lot and Elise dashed in to change into something more appropriate, jeans and a t-shirt along with her biker jacket but keeping her Converses on.
  
  Walking down to the restaurant was different from the middle of the night visits as the streets were bustling and all of the shops and outlets were open.
  
  Reaching Charlie’s we entered the front door and sat in a booth near the window. A beautiful young American Chinese girl came,smiled and said hello to Elise and gave us menus and asked if we wanted drinks in the meantime.
  
  "No thanks Lin just a pot of Jasmine tea for us please." Lin went back to the kitchen area. “No booze for me today as I will have to work in the bar so it is just tea for me.”
  
  Not in a drinking mood either, I agreed with her."

  All six senior members of the new federal anti-corruption watchdog have accepted Qantas Chairman's Lounge memberships as calls grow to refer Anthony Albanese over the
  perks he took from the airline. 
  
  Gift disclosure logs for the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) leadership positions show commissioners are all part of Australia's 'most
  exclusive club' the Chairman's Lounge membership extended by invite only by the
  Qantas chair.
  
  This has raised concerns over how impartial the body would be when dealing with Qantas matters. 
  
  If Mr Albanese has requested flight upgrades from former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce directly, as reported
  in a new book, he may have fallen foul of the strict Ministerial Code of Conduct which
  prohibits ministers from seeking 'any kind of benefit' 
  
  Commissioner Paul Brereton declared Chairman's Lounge membership in 2023, as did the
  CEO Philip Reed and deputy commissioners Jaala Hinchcliffe and Nicole Rose, Sky News reported on Wednesday. 
  
  Deputy commissioners Ben Gauntlett and Kylie Kilgour declared their membership
  in February 2024, which means it was after the NACC began operation in July 2023.

  Inside the exclusive hideaway for the nation's movers and shakers, where secret deals can be done
  
  
   
  
  An NACC spokesperson confirmed the Commissioner, three deputy commissioners and CEO
  are members of the Chairman's lounge.
  
  'This does not impact the integrity of the Commission,' the spokesman said.
  
  
  'Each of the statutory office holders has made appropriate declarations
  in regards to Chairman's lounge membership in the NACC Gifts and Benefits register.
  
  
  'Qantas is not a Commonwealth agency within the
  Commission's jurisdiction.'
  
  Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and his deputy Sussan Ley have said the Prime
  Minister should refer himself to the NACC over 22 upgrades and extra Chairman's Lounge memberships received from Qantas. 
  
  An insight into the type of service offered by the Chairman's Lounges was
  offered by a job ad posted on employment site Indeed for the one at Canberra Airport.
  
  
  
  The ad, placed by hotel group Accor that Qantas contracts to run the lounges,
  stated they were seeking 'a highly motivated Food & Beverage Attendant to
  join our experienced and professional Front of House team'.
  
  
  'This role is based within the Chairman's Lounge, a small fine dining restaurant and
  lounge area that offers an a la carte menu designed by Neil Perry Consulting,'
  the ad states. 
  
  'Service is discrete yet attentive, providing friendly and efficient food and beverage offerings that meets
  our passengers' expectations.'
  
  
  
  
  The Qantas Chairman's Lounge (pictured Sydney Airport) has been described as Australia's
  most exclusive club
  
  
  
  
  
  Former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce proudly walks the red carpet with
  one arm around the prime minister and the other
  around his partner Jodie Haydon
  
  
  
  
  
  A job ad for the Canberra Qantas Chairman's Lounge sets out
  the requirements to serve the high and mighty
  
  Applicants must 'have experience working in a fine
  dining environment and the ability to work a seven- day rotating roster.
  
  
  The claims Albanese received 22 upgrades from economy when booking Qantas flight by
  personally requesting them from Mr Joyce are made in a new book The Chairman's Lounge by former Australian Financial Review columnist Joe
  Aston. 
  
  Aston alleged Mr Albanese directly contacted Mr Joyce while in his various parliamentary jobs, which
  included Minister for Transport to ask for special upgrades that only
  the CEO could dole out for himself or his family.
  
  According to unnamed Qantas 'insiders' 11 of the 22 flights Mr Albanese received upgrades for were 'privately funded' and included overseas trips to Rome, London, Los Angeles and Honolulu.
  
  
  
  The book also revealed that as well as son Nathan having a 'plus one' Chairman's Lounge membership Mr
  Albanese's partner Jodie Haydon did as well. 
  
  Mr Albanese insisted on Tuesday that all were 'declared in the appropriate
  way'.
  
  WHAT IS THE QANTAS CHAIRMAN'S CLUB?
  
  The Qantas Chairman's Lounge is an invitation-only club approved by the company chairman, with the guest list a closely-guarded secret.
  
  
  It has been dubbed ¿the most exclusive club in the country¿ and comes
  with a distinct black card.
  
  Members include senior-ranking MPs including 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 but are not signed, you have to know
  where to look.
  
  Inside you will find expensive wood and brass furnishings, wool
  carpet and marble flooring all bathed in natural light. 
  
  Members enjoy fine à la carte dining with a complimentary premium array of beers, spirits
  and Australian wines. Wine bottles are often given as departing gift
  
  Facilities may also include spas, showers and an assortment of books and magazines.
  
  
  Members may bring in two guests at a time. 
  
  Lounge attendants personally alert you when your flight is to board and your personal preferences are logged for each flight.
  Membership also entitles you to first-class facilities at Qantas partner airlines.

  From state banquets to official engagements, the Princess of Wales has an ever-growing and faultless
  selection of tailored coat dresses, black-tie gowns and court shoes at her disposal, but it's her
  everyday wardrobe that really takes the crown. Scroll down to see 21 Kate Middleton-approved cold-weather staples we'll be wearing this season.
  
  A camel coat
  
  
  
  No winter wardrobe is complete without a camel coat
  
  No winter wardrobe is complete without a camel
  coat - and the Princess of Wales knows this.
  She tends to go for tailored, ankle-length silhouettes that can easily be layered over midi dresses and
  a pair of knee-high boots.

  Coat, £119, Zara
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  A knitted midi dress
  She also knows the power of a knitted midi dress. It's one of throw-on-and-go heroes that'll make you look put together, even if you've rushed
  out of the house in the morning without looking in a mirror.
  (Although we doubt that's the case for Kate.)

  A sweater vest
  
  
  
  Kate proving sweater vests are cool again 
  
  We'd love a peek inside the Princess of Wales' knitwear collection, which includes
  this sleeveless knit. Sweater vests are often considered a little frumpy
  but layered over a white button-down (à la Kate) they're a
  perfect office staple for the chilly weather.

  A Fair Isle jumper
  
  
  
  Her knitwear collection includes at least three Fair Isle jumpers
  
  Nothing signals the start of Christmas quite like the return of the Fair Isle knit (check out our roundup of the cosiest here) - and the Princess' jumper
  collection includes at least three different
  designs.

  A tartan dress
  
  
  
  The Princess loves to add a touch of tartan to her outfits in the winter 
  
  Another print that's synonymous with the holiday season is tartan. Kate Middleton's winter wardrobe includes
  plaid coats, scarves and skirts, but our favourite of her tartan pieces is this Emilia Wickstead dress.

  A pair of knee-high boots
  
  
  
  The combo of a midi skirt and knee-high boots can't be beat
  
  Once the temperatures drop, there's no shoe the Princess of Wales loves more
  than a heeled, knee-high boot. She has a pair in nearly every colour - and usually wears them with midi
  dresses or skirts and long, woollen coats.

  No cold hands for Kate
  
  On those frosty days, Kate Middleton doesn't leave the house
  without a pair of leather gloves - and we wouldn't either.
  Gloves have become a must-have fashion staple that
  instantly levels up your cold-weather style.

  Gloves, £22, Next
  
  
  A red scarf
  
  
  
  When in doubt, just add a red accessory 
  
  Do we think the Princess knows about the
  ‘pop of red' trick (i.e. adding a single red accessory to an otherwise neutral outfit,
  to give it a little extra edge)? She's reworn the same red scarf on multiple occasions.
  
  
  Shop the look: Scarf, £19, John Lewis

  A pair of riding boots
  
  
  
  She's been wearing these boots for two decades
  
  Fuelled by television phenomena such as Rivals, riding
  boots have become one of the most unexpected footwear trends of AW24 - and Kate Middleton has been wearing these Penelope Chilvers tassel boots since 2004.

  stroll around the countryside in her downtime, or whenever she's launching outdoorsy campaigns as
  a working royal.

  Has anyone ever looked more chic in a fedora?
  
  We'd love a peek inside Kate Middleton's headwear collection, which has grown to
  be quite substantial, but by far our favourite hat she's
  ever worn is this cobalt blue fedora courtesy of Hicks & Brown.

  We'd copy and paste this outfit on weekends
  
  It's not often we see the Princess of Wales in jeans, and
  when we do she's usually sporting a skinnier shape, so we haven't been able to stop
  thinking about these cropped kick-flare jeans since they had their first outfit last winter.

  There's no better investment than a cashmere roll neck

  Kate Middleton favours them during the holidays - and opts for metallic iterations for a festive take on the classic.

  Who looks better in a suit? (Our vote goes to Kate)
  
  Since becoming the Princess of Wales, Kate has embraced suiting and amassed an impressive collection of smart blazers, tailored trousers
  and silk blouses in a rainbow of colours. While she still often goes for tapered silhouettes, we're big fans of her wide-leg trouser suits.

  If the words ‘Kate Middleton' and ‘blouse' don't call up images of the royal in a silky pussy bow top, then you haven't been paying
  enough attention. Paired with tailored trousers, the blouse has become one of her signature workwear styles.

  Anthony Albanese has tried to claim his relationship with Alan Joyce was a strictly professional one between a Prime Minister and a
  corporate titan, as he battles claims the Qantas boss was his 'personal
  travel agent' for free flights and upgrades.
  
  However that characterization of the relationship was at odds with that
  made by Mr Joyce, who said he was 'good mates' with Mr Albanese and had been 'for years'.
  
  
  In the wake of the explosive claims that the Prime Minister had Mr Joyce arrange free
  tickets and upgrades, Mr Albanese distanced himself from the Qantas chief.
  
  
  When asked about about their relationship on Sunday Mr Albanese implied
  it was purely in a professional capacity, having been Transport Minister and
  shadow transport spokesperson before becoming Prime Minister. 
  
  'He (Joyce) was the CEO of the national airline ...
  I had the same relationship with him that I have
  with John Borghetti as the CEO of Virgin,' Mr Albanese
  said.
  
  That assessment was at odds with the many photos showing Mr Albanese and Mr Joyce apparently greatly enjoying each other's company. 
  
  Mr Albanese and Mr Joyce were pictured in high spirits on the red
  carpet at the Qantas 100th Gala Dinner in March last year.
  
  
  In photos from the event, Mr Joyce proudly walks the red carpet with one arm around the prime minister
  and the other around Mr Albanese's partner, Jodie Haydon.
  
  Just five months later, in August, a smiling Mr
  Albanese attended Qantas's unveiling of it's special 'Yes 23' emblazoned airplanes for the Voice referendum.
  
  
  
  
  
  Former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce jovially walked the red carpet with one arm around the prime minister and the other around his partner, Jodie Haydon for a special anniversary event last year
  
  Mr Joyce was seen touching Mr Albanese's arm, with the PM bursting into laughter.
  
  
  Even when Scott Morrison was PM,  Mr Joyce enjoyed an apparently close
  relationship with Mr Albanese as the pair stood close together at the launch of
  the Qantas' landmark Perth to London flight in March, 2018. 
  
  During a Senate hearing in September 2023, Mr Joyce
  said he had been 'friends for years' with Mr Albanese.
  
  
  Asked about why he gifted Mr Albanese's son Nathan a membership to the prestigious and exclusive
  Chairman's Lounge Mr Joyce refused to confirm or deny but talked up
  his relationship with the Prime Minister.
  
  'I've been good mates with Albo for some time,' Mr Joyce said. 
  
  However, the then Qantas CEO refused to say whether
  he lobbied the Prime Minister on the controversial decision to lock competitor Qatar Airways out of domestic routes.
  
  
  It has since emerged in a new book about Qantas, The
  Chairman's Lounge, by former Australian Financial Review

  Anthony Albanese fires up and launches a brutal personal attack on book author
  
  
  Reports have emerged in a new book Mr Albanese received
  22 upgrades from economy from Qantas and he would liaise personally
  with the former airline boss for them. 
  
  Aston also alleged Mr Albanese directly contacted
  Mr Joyce while in his various parliamentary jobs to
  ask for special upgrades for himself or his family.
  
  
  According to unnamed Qantas 'insiders' 11 of the 22 flights Mr Albanese received upgrades for were 'privately funded' and included overseas trips to Rome, London,
  Los Angeles and Honolulu, with some being for holidays.
  
  
  Mr Albanese insisted on Tuesday that the London flights was for work
  purposes and all were 'declared in the appropriate way'.    
  
  Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has leapt on the accusations describing Mr Albanese
  as being the 'best friend' of Mr Joyce. 
  
  Mr Dutton told Sky News on Monday night it was 'strange' Mr
  Albanese had directly contacted Mr Joyce to request upgrades while holding a regulatory
  position in the transport sector.
  
  'If you're the Transport Minister and you're
  picking up the phone to one of the most important stakeholders in the portfolio
  asking for a free upgrade, then again, I think the Prime Minister would be able to
  answer those questions more effectively than anyone else because I'm
  not aware of anyone else having done it,' Mr Dutton said.
  
  
  
  
  
  It has since emerged that Ms Haydon also has membership of the Qantas Chairman's
  Lounge
  
  
  
  The Prime Minister denied frequently asking Mr Joyce
  for upgrades on Tuesday at press conference in the NSW city of Newcastle.
  
  
  'The only discussions that I can recall with Alan Joyce certainly
  were not discussed through calls - we discussed the first flight from Australia to Dubai on the A380,' he
  said.
  
  'I've declared everything in accordance with all of the rules.'
  
  Aston was asked on Monday night by ABC interviewer Sarah
  Ferguson about how confident he was that Mr Albanese had made calls personally
  to Mr Joyce for upgrades.
  
  'I am very comfortable with my sourcing,' Aston said.
  
  
  Asked whether he thought Mr Albanese had been influenced by Mr
  Joyce's lobbying to block UAE airline Qatar domestically Aston said
  it was 'implausible' to think that the Prime Minister's office had nothing to do with the decision.
  
  
  
  
  Mr Albanese's son Nathan, 24, has reportedly also been granted access to
  the Qantas Chairman's Lounge (pictured, Mr Albanese and son Nathan in May, 2022)
  
  'It's very hard to imagine a decision of any political sensitivity in the Albanese government that would not
  go through the Prime Minister's office,' Aston replied.
  
  
  He noted the opening up of the Australian domestic market Qatar
  had seemingly been sailing through with Transport
  Minister Catherine King speaking warmly about
  the proposal until 'everything changed' to stop it dead in tracks. 
  
   Ms King repeatedly denied in parliament the decision to block Qatar
  was due to Qantas lobbying her or any Labor colleagues.
  
  
  Despite Mr Albanese claiming he declared every upgrade received from Qantas the Australian Financial
  Review reported on Tuesday that he failed to do for his former wife
  Carmel Tebbutt when the two traveled together.
  
  
  
  
  Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has  questioned the alleged personal requests Mr Albanese made to Mr
  Joyce  while in his various parliamentary jobs
  
  
  
  
  
  Even when Scott Morrison was prime minister, Mr
  Joyce appeared to have a close relationship with Mr Albanese (the pair are pictured at an event in 2019)
  
  Sky New host Sharri Markson on Monday night labeled
  Mr Joyce as 'basically Albanese's personal travel
  agent.'
  
  'This is all a question of integrity. Most Australians struggle
  to afford even an economy airfare. They'd never be able to afford the luxury of business
  class. It's out of our reach,' she said.
  
  
  'Can Albanese truly be impartial when it comes to making decisions about Qantas when he's been getting tens of thousands of dollars worth of
  free upgrades to business class? The revelations puts the decision he made as transport minister and prime
  minister under a cloud.
  
  'Aside from the integrity issues, this revelation is also politically
  lethal. Albanese took care to curate a self-image of a housing
  commission boy who made it. But now the perception is cementing of a long-term pollie enjoying the perks of public office.'
  
  Another awkward paradox of Mr Albanese's  apparent close relationship with Mr Joyce is
  that the Labor leader in a trade unionist advocate while Qantas attempted to
  break the power of the Transport Workers Union by sacking 1700 staff during Covid. 
  
  The sacking has since been ruled illegal by Federal Court in a case
  brought by the union with Qantas facing possible
  hundreds of thousands in compensation payouts. 
  
  The friendship however did find one perhaps unlikely defender in semi-retired 3AW radio star Neil Mitchell. 
  
  'Quick test: upgrade Albo is a bad look,'
  Mitchell wrote on X.
  
  'But does anybody believe he was seriously compromised by having Alan Joyce as a bestie?
  
  Time to rewrite rules governing politicians.'
