The prime minister must answer for a meeting with ex-Qantas boss Alan Joyce, the opposition leader says—even though the encounter has been public knowledge for months.

Following a 16-month-long freedom of information campaign, former senator Rex Patrick and the Australian Financial Review on Thursday showed Anthony Albanese met with then-Qantas chief Alan Joyce for half an hour at Parliament House on Nov. 23, 2022.
