2 个月The government has done a good job in spinning the White Paper to make consumers and media believe it will compensate passengers for delay and cancellation. To be clear, the plans it has unveiled do not give passengers any additional legal rights beyond what they already have under the Australian Consumer Law. Getting your money back for a ticket you can’t use is not the same as compensation. The White Paper is a missed opportunity to introduce a compensation scheme such as the one in the EU that you mention in your article. I believe Adam Glezer shares the same view.
