Qantas boss Alan Joyce gives Anthony Albanese’s 23-year-old uni student son Nathan a Chairman’s Lounge pass

Anthony Albanese’s 23-year-old son has been given a pass to Qantas’ exclusive Chairman’s Lounge.

Nathan Albanese, a student who happens to be the Prime Minister’s son with his ex-wife Carmel Tebbutt, has been drafted into the invite-only suite, where he will live alongside Australia’s top CEOs, A-list celebrities and politicians , according to the AFR’s rear window column.

“It’s the stuff African republics are made of,” said the column’s author, Joe Aston.

The invitation-only Chairman’s Lounge is so exclusive that Qantas has only recently acknowledged its existence on its website.

There are six at airports in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra, discreetly hidden from the scum.

Members can enjoy plush leather sofas, eat from a buffet or à la carte menu, a bar that is always open and, above all, peace and quiet.

Alan Joyce, CEO of Qantas, is believed to personally compile the Chairman’s Lounge membership list.

Mr Aston asked both Qantas and the Prime Minister’s office who had ensured Mr Albanese’s son joined this top club, but received no response.

“Did any of them really think that a university student barging into the Chairman’s Lounge like a lord wouldn’t stand out as dog balls?” asks Mr. Aston.

His excoriating piece questions why Mr. Albanese has not declared his son’s membership in the Register of Members’ Interests.

“The Prime Minister could argue it’s not necessary if his son isn’t technically a dependent (though the Labor leader did say in 2022, ‘We’re close, we live together’),” writes Mr Aston.

“Regardless of the fallacies relied on, his son only received this benefit because of his father’s position. It should be explained, especially by the man elected on an integrity platform.”

He adds, “This is about the Prime Minister’s inability to resist a secret freebie, a crafty tip from public office, or understand how compromised he looks.”

But Mr Aston reserves his fiercest fury for Qantas itself, accusing the airline of being ‘better than the mafia’ at influencing politicians.

This is how they do it, and why Qantas gets what it wants from the government, whenever it wants it.

“Therefore, no matter how badly the company treats Australian voters, the officials that voters depend on to hold the company accountable may look the other way.”

The column claims that Qantas has received more complaints to the Australian Competition and Consumer Competition than any other company for the second year in a row.

Daily Mail Australia approached Qantas for comment.

The Prime Minister’s son, Nathan, has largely stayed out of the spotlight.

He was pictured hugging his father on election night last year, with the first-term prime minister thanking his son during his victory speech and calling him his ‘good luck charm’.

“To my proudest achievement, my son, Nathan. Thank you, mate, for your love and support,” the new prime minister said.

It was reported at the time that the couple are still living together at Mr Albanese’s home in Marrickville in Sydney’s inner west.

The Labor leader revealed that he speaks to his son every day, wherever he is in the world.

“I have a way of making sure I talk to my son every day, and that’s a good luck charm for me,” he said.

‘We are close, we live together. He also spends time with his mother. But I am very proud of him. He has developed into a very fine young man.’

The father of one child admitted he ‘didn’t see it coming’ when former NSW Deputy Prime Minister Ms Tebbutt decided to end their marriage on New Year’s Day 2019.

Nathan had just completed his HSC exams and was 18 when Mrs. Tebbutt left his father.

The couple had been in a relationship for 30 years – married for 19 years – and raised Nathan together.

Nathan reportedly graduated last year after studying business and marketing at the University of Technology Sydney.

It was reported on Saturday that outgoing Qantas CEO Mr Joyce had sold his Federation-era mansion in one of Sydney’s most exclusive suburbs for a mysterious price rumored to be well over $20 million.

He bought the four-bedroom sandstone house at 12 Musgrave Street in Mosman, on Sydney’s lower north shore, last March with his husband Shane Lloyd.

The couple purchased the Mosman home for $19 million before giving the home’s interior a makeover with the help of design firm Levine Vokaberg.

While the exact price of the sale is unknown, a source told Domain it was well above the $20 million price.
