Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Comprehensive | Qantas Airways provides extensive and specific disclosure of its climate-policy lobbying. It names the concrete measures it is promoting, including a “SAF blending mandate” that would rise progressively to 2050, the creation of a federal “Jet Zero Council,” and a package of “supply-side, price support mechanisms (including grants, production incentives and contracts for difference)” worth “$1.5 billion in capital grants and production incentives tied to carbon emission reduction.” The company also sets out the methods it uses to influence policy, such as direct submissions to federal consultations, participation in the Government-led Jet Zero Council, Memoranda of Understanding with state governments (e.g., Queensland), work through industry bodies like A4ANZ and IATA, and commissioning ICF International to model a policy roadmap—clearly identifying its targets as the Australian federal and state governments. Finally, it is explicit about the outcomes it seeks: establishment of a domestic SAF industry, achievement of “10 % SAF in our fuel mix by 2030 and ~60 % by 2050,” deployment of substantial public funding to narrow the SAF cost premium, and introduction of “SAF certification and Guarantee of Origin mechanisms” to build market confidence. Taken together, these disclosures demonstrate a very high level of transparency across the policies lobbied, the mechanisms employed, and the concrete results the company is pursuing. | 4 |
