Did the PM get special treatment from Qantas?

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been accused of directly asking  former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce for free, undisclosed flight upgrades. The allegation has been detailed in a new book by former Australian Financial Review (AFR) columnist Joe Aston.  The Opposition has said it will consider setting up a Senate Inquiry into the matter, while the PM has suggested the claims come from a “person who is trying to sell a book”.
