Calls for Federal Government to support failing companies

There’s been strong support for the Federal Government to help failing companies such as Rex Airlines.

While the airline is still flying between Mildura and Melbourne and has flights from Broken Hill, it’s stopped flying between capital cities after going into administration.

The new poll shows more than 70 per cent support the Federal Government intervening to ensure Rex continues flying in regional centres.

However the Transport Workers Union says a YouGov poll shows there’s support for the government to take an equity stake when bailing out companies.

The Union says there’s also strong support for an independent commission to set standards for jobs and services in aviation.
