US bombs Iran: Fears for Aussies stranded in Middle East
Don't miss out on the headlines from Middle East. Followed categories will be added to My News. While many businesses, schools and kindergartens are shut across Israel and residents are staying at home, more than 3800 Australians are unable to leave both Israel and Iran and they have no idea when they will be able to return home. Israel's air space remains closed following the US strike on Iran's nuclear facilities on Sunday which has left many people stranded in the Middle East for the foreseeable future. DFAT had buses and Royal Australian Air Force flights organised to get Australians out of the war zone, but these have now been put on hold as Israel's airspace remains closed and buses services cancelled. A group of Australians travelling together had their return flights booked on June 13 to return from a four-week holiday back to Australia but their plans were derailed when the latest conflict between Israel and Iran broke out. Liz Sveticic, 63, from Epping, who works as a personal carer, said she was all 'packed and ready to go on June 13' until 'all hell broke loose' between the two warring countries. 'We contacted all the authorities, the consular, the travel agents, everything possible and from my understanding we've been told to keep safe and keep where we are,' she told News Corp while on holiday in Tel Aviv. 'It's our risk if we want to go to Jordan, which is a very high risk which I'm not prepared to do. 'We have to sit and wait'. Ms Sveticic said she's being inundated by calls and messages from family and friends in Australia concerned for her safety but said many people at home are more stressed than she is while being stuck in the middle of a war zone. 'They (Australians) don't understand because of course everyone is ringing in panic and they are panicking more than we are panicking, they don't get it,' she said. 'Realistically I would love to go home, my granddaughter turned one yesterday, it's heartbreaking'. Sam Federici, 72, from Caulfield South, is also on holiday in Israel with his wife Liora, 74, and said they arrived in Israel on May 22 but are now trapped in Israel for the foreseeable future. Sitting in a cafe in Dizengoff Street – one of Tel Aviv's most popular food and fashion hubs – he said his family has been moving hotels as their stay keeps getting extended. Just hours after learning that America had destroyed three of Iran's nuclear plants he said hearing the news was 'unbelievable'. 'I think he's achieved in one fell blow what nobody could do for the last 20 years or 30 years,' Mr Federici said. 'Hopefully it's a chance for peace'. But Mr Federici said he was 'very disappointed' with the Australian government and its treatment of the Jewish community. 'I'm disappointed with Albanese, I'm disappointed with Penny Wong, I hate to say her name, I'm just disappointed with the way the ALP have treated Jewish people in Australia, as if they don't exist,' he said. 'What 120,000 Jews in Australia have achieved, no-one can come anywhere near it and the government is treating them as if they don't matter and as if they don't exist'.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to attend string of high-level summits around the world amid global uncertainty and international conflicts
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is preparing to attend more than half a dozen overseas trips or conferences by the end of 2025, Sky News Australia can reveal. Mr Albanese will attend the APEC forum in Korea, ASEAN summit in Malaysia, COP climate conference in Brazil, and the G20 summit in South Africa. He is also expected to visit China at the invitation of President Xi Jinping, speak at the UN General Assembly in New York, and attend the Pacific Islands Forum in the Solomon Islands. Mr Albanese sees the trips as essential at a time when there is so much upheaval in the world, with a war in the Middle East and another in Ukraine. The busy schedule comes after Mr Albanese earned the moniker 'Airbus Albo' in his first term of government, just as former prime minister Kevin Rudd was branded 'Kevin 747'. The Australian government originally helped set up APEC, and the G20 is a forum every Australian prime minister always attends. The COP summit in Brazil is necessary, given Australia bidding to host a future UN climate conference. That trip will likely be paired with the G20. Mr Albanese is also expected to use the UN General Assembly in New York as the best opportunity to secure a rescheduled face-to-face meeting with US President Donald Trump. The two leaders' planned first meeting at the G7 in Kananaskis, Canada was abruptly cancelled last week, prompting criticism of Mr Albanese's lack of engagement with President Trump. Mr Albanese considered attending the NATO summit in The Hague to revive the meeting, but it has been confirmed that Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles will attend instead. The Albanese government's view is that President Trump has agreed to a meeting, and it will take place at an appropriate time. The visit to China is also seen as an important step, given the size of the trading relationship between the two countries. On his first trip to China in the last term of parliament, the Prime Minister ensured he visited the United States beforehand where he met with then-president Joe Biden. That was another reason the highly anticipated meeting with President Trump had been so important for the Albanese government. Since being re-elected in May, Mr Albanese has already travelled to Indonesia to meet President Prabowo Subianto and to Rome for the Mass swearing in the new Pope Leo. He also visited Nadi, Fiji to meet Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka; Seattle, USA to meet Amazon Web Service CEO Matt Garman; and Kanaskis, Canada for the G7 Summit. In the absence of Mr Trump, Mr Albanese instead held two short meetings on the sidelines of the G7 with key members of the Trump administration. He also met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

Price wars, cheap airfares and stiff competition for Qantas: What can Aussies expect from the new Virgin Australia?
Australia's second largest airline is heading back on the market for the first time since it fell into administration in 2020. Virgin Australia last week finally unveiled initial public offering plans after years of rumours and reports. The carrier confirmed it was offering 30.2 per cent of the company, or $685 million for $2.90 per share, up for grabs from June 24. Australian travellers, the local travel sector and investors are now fixated on exactly what can be expected from the new iteration of Virgin Australia. Virgin's international expansion Virgin Australia returns to the ASX with the backing of one of the world's best regarded carriers as it ventures onto lucrative international routes. Qatar Airways purchased a 25 per cent stake in Virgin and earlier this month began wet-leasing aircraft to the Australian airline, meaning Virgin could use Qatar's planes and staff on its flights. Flight Centre's CEO Graham Turner said Qatar Airways backing Virgin had 'solidified' the airline as it looked to compete with Qantas and the National Carrier's partner Emirates on routes to Europe. 'The airline industry is one where you do need deep pockets and I think that Qatar really offers some serious security there,' Mr Turner told Qatar Airways' additional capacity to Australia via Virgin comes almost two years after Transport Minister Catherine King controversially blocked extra capacity for the carrier. The Albanese government's ties with Qantas, which opposed the flights, came under intense scrutiny as the decision to block the extra capacity came at a time when sky high airfares plagued Aussies travellers. Labor, alongside the Foreign Investment Review Board, approved Qatar's stake in Virgin earlier in the year, boosting hopes for cheaper airfares and more vibrant aviation competition in Australia. The expertise and massive size of Qatar's fleet, which is often ranked as one of the world's top airlines, is considered essential for Virgin's European expansion. 'Having a partner like Qatar that's obviously heavily committed to the Australian international market, particularly to Europe and the UK, is going to be a really positive thing for Virgin here,' Mr Turner said. Virgin is also expected to benefit from a massive investment by Qatar for 210 widebody Boeing aircraft. The editor in chief of aviation website 42 Thousand Feet, Geoffrey Thomas, said the additional aircraft would enable Virgin to relaunch trans-Pacific and Asian routes alongside European flights. 'With Qatar Airways and their buying power … I see them as being a real rock of Gibraltar, if you like, for Virgin,' Mr Thomas told 'In the recent order for about 130 B787s, I see a number of those, possibly 20, making their way to Virgin as part of a bulk buying. 'That will help Virgin relaunch to Asia, relaunch the United States and become a true international airline in its own right.' However, not all are convinced Qatar's involvement with Virgin will send it skyrocketing. Morningstar analyst Angus Hewitt, who has argued Virgin's IPO is overvalued, said the collaboration with Qatar 'does not mean much at all'. He noted Virgin will get some commission and a fixed fee from Qatar, but this would be offset by the cost of selling and delivering the flights. 'The actual earnings impact of the Qatar long haul agreement is going to be negligible,' Mr Hewitt said on Sky News' Business Now. The major value of the agreement, Mr Hewitt argued, came from the boost to Virgin's frequent flyer program Velocity. 'It makes Velocity a more formidable competitor to Qantas Frequent Flyer,' he said. Cheaper airfares? Aussie travellers have been desperate for cheaper domestic and international flights since the pandemic. But whether travellers see Virgin wage a price war with Qantas after it goes public remains up in the air. Virgin's decline throughout the 2010s and subsequent collapse in 2020 was partly due to the airline's former CEO John Borghetti toughing it out against ex-Qantas boss Alan Joyce in a bitter capacity war. A vast oversupply of seats contributed to the carrier facing a decade of red ink across its financial reports and the battle soon came to a halt. The Australian Travel Industry Association's (ATIA) CEO Dean Long told the days of nosediving airfares were long behind us. 'I would love to see a price war, but I think it's highly unlikely,' Mr Long said. 'What both companies have said is that they're comfortable in the marketplace that they're currently playing and I think that means it won't be a market share battle like we saw in the Borghetti-era where he tried to take Virgin to Qantas.' Mr Turner was hopeful for heightened competition between the airlines but noted Australians continued to see stable capacity levels despite the fall of short-lived budget carrier Bonza last year and Rex withdrawing from inter-city routes. 'As more capacity comes on, we think the airfares will tend to become more competitive,' he said. Mr Thomas was adamant Virgin going public will pose 'serious competition' for Qantas, but the Flying Kangaroo's Project Sunrise plans, where it will fly directly from Australia's east coast to London and New York, puts it ahead of Virgin. 'It'll be competition, but it'll be healthy competition and I think it would just help to grow the market,' he said. Qantas in March once again postponed the start of Project Sunrise to 2027, delaying the start time for when the National Carrier's on-order A350-1000 jets will operate the 20-hour flights. It follows the start date being delayed in early 2024 as the flights were initially slate to kick off in 2025. Virgin's share price Every company strives for profit whether they are public or private, but the presence of shareholders and the pressure to push up a share price can weigh on a business. Qantas' share price more than doubled since October 2023 but its value took a 28 per cent whack in the preceding three months when the mountain of reputational scandals rained hell on the carrier. The National Carrier illegally sacking staff and fraudulent sales practices, all while posting a record profit in the 2023 financial year, caught up with the airline and its shareholders. Mr Thomas said the Virgin executives should keep Qantas' tumultuous behaviour both during and after the pandemic in mind as it undergoes its revamp. 'Where Qantas probably got too entrenched in shareholder value and less about consumer concern, I think will be a very valuable lesson for Virgin,' he said. Travel industry figures are hoping Virgin going public could spark a positive change as it looks to deliver long-term profitability. Mr Long said the team at ATIA wanted the carrier to shift from a private equity mindset towards an attitude where it has to generate a solid return to bolster shareholder value. 'We're hopeful that as it becomes listed there should be some improvements in fleet and some improvements on some of the ground product and how they work with corporate Australia,' he said. The Flight Centre boss also stressed the carrier will need to deliver a 'very competitive' product compared to Qantas to ensure its share price can thrive. 'I think most executive teams and Virgin's, I'm sure knowing them, realise that service standards have to come up to a certain level and so that's important for the share price as much as the profitability,' Mr Turner said. But Virgin may not only have Qantas to worry about as it seeks to drive its stock price. This is a point Morningstar analyst Angus Hewitt makes in his company's report where the financial services firm argues Virgin's value is $2.60 rather than the $2.90 IPO. 'We don't think there will be only two airlines in Australia forever,' Mr Hewitt said. 'We think Australian airlines are over earning at the moment, and we expect this to attract competition in the medium.' Virgin and Qantas' domination of the domestic aviation space comes after Bonza and Rex both collapsed in 2024. Rex's demise is heavily attributed to its attempt to swoop in on the 'Golden Triangle' routes of Sydney-Brisbane-Melbourne after it purchased B737s off Virgin when it collapsed in 2020. Ruthless anti-competitive behaviour by the major players and an inability to secure slots at better times at Sydney Airport led the company to burn cash just to stay in the skies and ultimately withdraw from the ASX. As to whether Virgin meets a similar fate will be something Australians cautiously watch.
