The existence of ?n exclusive hideaway fo? the country's movers and shakers w?ere secret deals ?ere ?one in private luxury first exploded into t?e public eye ba?k in 2007.


Back t?en, the fact that Qantas spent hundreds ?f thousands of dollars wining and dining the nation'? political elite in ultra-exclusive VIP lounges ??s ?elatively unknown.

It was ? time before Alan Joyce's tenure ?s the CEO of Qantas had e?en started, when he was boss of the comparatively lowly budget airline, Jetstar.

?nd unlike Anthony Albanese'? current slide ?n the polls leading ?? to an election in ne?t yea?, the prospects ba?k in 2007 wer? rosy for Labor. 

?he election t?at was looming was the 'Kevin 07' landslide t?at ?ould see Kevin Rudd become ?rime minister ?nd John Howard lose ?is own seat. 

The issue wh?ch blew open the 'guilty secret' ?f the Chairman's Lounge then ?asn't about a p?ime minister'? privileges, ?lthough John Howard ?nd Kevin Rudd ?ere certa?nly both mem?ers d?ring their terms as PM. 

But when broadcaster Steve ?rice - h?mself a long time Chairman's Lounge member - revealed ? politically charged remark made within th? club's hallowed walls, t?e cat was out of t?e bag.

The political revelation - a ?omment by e?-rock star t?rned senator Peter Garrett t?at Labor would chang? the policies it campaigned on if ?t won government - ?id not deter his party f?om romping in on election ?ay.

In contrast, the scandal currently engulfing Anthony Albanese abo?t h?s Chairman's Lounge membership ?nd that of h?? ex-wife Carmel Tebbutt, ?nd t?eir son Nathan co?ld br?ng down th? prime minister.   




??e exclusive Qantas Chairman'? Lounge (abov?) ha? been a well-k?pt secret f?r ye?rs, but it exploded ?nto the public conscience ?n 2007 ?s the result of a political furore





Broadcaster Steve ?rice revealed ?e had been a Chairman'? Lounge m?mber ?ince 2002 ?uring a row b?fore the 2007 election won by Kevin Rudd whi?h let t?? cat out ?f the bag about th? VIP club

The existence of the lounge ?a? s? littl? ?nown b?ck in 2007 that ?n defending h?s disclosure ?f Garrett's remark, Steve ?rice had to explain ?hat t?e private enclave actually ?as.

?n a fir?t person piece ?e wrote: '?he Chairman'? Lounge is a separate frequent flyers lounge ?way from the crowded normal Qantas Club. 

'?s its nam? implies, t?? people giv?n access t? it ?re approved by t?e Qantas chairman, Margaret Jackson. 

'? have been ? Chairman'? Lounge member since 2002.'

?n ?is opinion piece, ?rice a??o revealed TV entertainment reporter Richard Wilkins ??? also a m?mber of lounge.

Wilkins ?ad ?lso b??n ?nside ?t the tim? and ?as ??s onl? witness to th? remark P?ice ?aid Garrett had mad?.

Ot?er prominent media figures, ?uch a? 60 Minut?s reporters, actors ?nd performers, ?nd well-known writers and sports people a?? said t? ?e among the lounge's exclusive membership ?f ?round 6000.

Price went on to defend himself for reporting wh?t s?me claimed ?as a confidential conversation in ? private ?lace, b?t ?hich exposed ?im to criticism over his o?n membership for allegedly promoting Qantas ?n hi? radio ?how.




Back in 2007, Alan Joyce (left) w?? boss of t?e comparatively lowly budget airline Jetstar, ?nd then Qantas CEO Geoff Dixon (?ight) had the power ?ver wh? made the cut t? the Chairman's Lounge





One observer ?as descri?ed t?e relationship bet6ween leading politicians ?uch as ?M Anthony Albanese ?nd t?e former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce (abov?) as 'alarmingly cosy'

'?hy ?n earth is Qantas gi?ing a controversial shock jock membership ?f it? Chairman'? Lounge, wh?ch is supposedly t? enable ou? elite politicians and business leaders ?ome privacy from the hoi polloi?' demanded Crikey reporter Stephen Mayne ?t the time.


'T?e Chairman's Lounge ?s meant to be all about discretion and confidentiality,' ?e sa?d, accusing Price of breaking 'a confidence'.

?he following year, ?efore ?e was succeeded as Qantas CEO ?y Alan Joyce, Geoff Dixon ?as the sole gatekeeper ?f entry into t?e club's hushed confines.

Qantas Chairman's Lounge membership ?as 'so exclusive t?at ?ou ha?e to be personally invited ?y the airline's chieftain', Nine newspapers ?eported in 2008.

'? marvellous benefit ?f lounge membership ?s that the mega rich ?nd powerful a?oid hav?ng to mingle with the riffraff who will be travelling cattle class.

'H?ving s?id that, memb?rs of the ultra-exclusive club ?ave included Pauline Hanson.

'?nother lounge m?mber i? Brad Cooper, ?ho is ?urrently enjoying a prolonged exposure t? cattle-class in Kirkconnell Correctional Centre.' (Cooper ??s th? form?r HIH insurance executive jailed f?r ei?ht ?ears on fraud and bribery offences).





Membership ?f the elite lounge i? confined to ?bout 6000 Australians including politicians f?om b?th s?des, senior public servants, TV stars ?nd actors






The 'scandal' ?urrently engulfing Anthony Albanese ?bout his Chairman's Lounge membership ?nd t?at of h?s ex-wife Carmel Tebbutt, ?nd t?eir s?n Nathan coul? bring down the prime minister (abov? the PM with partner Jodie Haydon and ?x-Qantas CEO Alan Joyce)

Th? report noted that politicians declaring membership ?f the lounge 'whi?h most of th?ir spouses got t?o' in their pecuniary ?nterests t?at year included Liberal MPs ?f the d?y, Philip Ruddock, Bob Baldwin ?nd Andrew Southcott.

Labor MPs ?ith lounge privileges included Tanya Plibersek, Bob McMullan, ?nd Sharon Grierson, ?nd Martin Ferguson declared a bottle ?f Grange hermitage ?? a gift from Qantas, as ?id Liberal, Christopher Pyne.

?sked if all MPs got th? captain's pick fr?m Geoff Dixon, the airline'? spokesperson  t?ld ?ine: '?e li?e to retain ? bit of mystery. Membership ?s b? invitation onl? ?nd ?t is reviewed periodically.'

?ast forward t? today, ?nd nearly ?very single federal politician ?n the country h?s accepted free membership of t?e controversial, invitation-only lounge with one ev?n describing ?t as an 'entitlement'. 

Qantas ?nd the Albanese government ?ecently denied th? 'v?ry, very hig?-end perk' gives th? airline a disproportionate level ?f influence o?er the country's politicians.

T?ey wer? commenting ahead ?f the launch of the ne? book The Chairman'? Lounge by form?r Australian Financial Review columnist Joe Aston, wh?ch h?? stirred up t?e controversy. 

A Daily Mail Australia audit ?f the memb?rs' intere?t registers - ?n bot? Federal Parliament'? House of Representatives ?nd the Senate - revealed alm?st 93 pe? cent of th? nation'? leaders ?ave be?n 'gifted' membership to the lavish, ?ll-inclusive lounge.


?r Albanese ?as defended hims?lf ?y say?ng h? declared all his benefits in pecuniary ?nterest statements. 

At a press conference this week, he repeated th?t a?l of hi? upgrades '?ave been declared ?s appropr?ate. W?at's ?ppropriate ?s transparency.'  

?part f?om the PM, memb?rs include every one of his 22-person Cabinet, his se?en-person Outer Ministry ?nd a?l 12 assistant ministers.
