      Municipal councils in Broome, Karratha, Geraldton and Carnarvon held closed meetings to promise various amounts in millions of dollars toward continued Qantas services during lockdown. In Geraldton, the amount was three hundred dollars for every member of the population, even though only about ten percent are ever likely to use it. No consultation. Appalling plutocratic governance. Thank goodness for road coaches.

        Yeah I was in Karratha during the lock downs. It was a big talking point of the town with all the BHP and RIO workers worried about their travels.

        I got shafted and couldn’t leave cause of work commitments
