....Judges are still not back - must have meant Brisbane time. Or in the new spirit of Qantas, Singapore time?

They say that when a jury takes a long time to deliberate that it will go well for the accused. So who is the accused party in this case?

Still waiting, Fair Work Judges yet to deliver their decision to press gallery.
It seems that the gallery has been prevented from entering the court while the verdict is delivered.

Gutsy???
Canada lost a lot more than just the visa fee - we lost billions by losing the UAE base as well, taxpayers were on the hook for that - just to protect Air Canada.
The federal government claimed they did this to protect Canadian jobs
The reality is that AC management and federal politicians are tight buddies, there is lots of greasing the wheels going on - and AC management can count on them for protection - just like they do in labour disputes.

Right. So the decision is to either change the status quo or not, and if change, to either terminate the disruption or suspend. QF has said unless the ruling is terminate the airline is grounded. So I predict no relief today.

Cancel last, the press pack is in the hearing. The Justices chairs were just checked, but the delay relates to written decisions being delivered.

looks like termination, suspension not enough.
accepted qantas argument that if just suspension, situation would reoccur

Fair Work Australia ruling
The Justices of the Fair Work Australia tribunal have delivered their verdict, and they have ruled that the industrial action is TERMINATED effective NOW.
QF did state via Twitter that there will be no flights until at least Monday afternoon, and this decision means that this is likely to stay current.
The court is issuing a written decision, as the Justices believe the dispute is likely to be escalated through higher court.
More information soon.

bill shorten claiming this was what the govt wanted all along.
why did they not use the powers to issue the order themselves and stop the shutdown alltogether.
