These slave labourers sure do put on a good grand prix

There’s a nice bit of joined up publishing from Sydney’s Sunday Telegraph today.

The paper gives part of its centre spread to an opinion piece from union leader Paul Howes decrying Middle Eastern airlines being allowed to increase their flights into Australia.  

Apparently it’s unfair competition to give access to the airlines of emirates like Abu Dhabi and Dubai because “they’re wholly owned by the royal families of their respective kingdoms” who subsides the fuel costs.

The clincher being that staff in the emirates are “paid slave wages with little or no workplace rights”.
