Urrrggh...
Qantascityflyer is the name for the internal flights linking the main cites, like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth. It tries to run rather like a bus service, with take off on the hour, each hour. There is inflight entertainment, and it tries to cut costs to compete with VirginBlue
Qantaslink BAE-146
Qantas ordered the cheapest version, and as a result they are very hot with no airconditioning.

Another cheap buy by Qantas, many of the Dash 8 versions Qantas fly have no air conditioning that works on the ground, so they get insufferably hot on the ground, and once it's on, cold in the air.
Well there are many more mistakes. I think we need to send this person to QF School where he can learn all about the company.
Inconsistency....

But the point thadocta, QF NB and perthite were making was that it WASN'T at all informative. Nothing like flying an airline yourself to see how good it is.

(Strangely enough the associated image shows a plastic tumbler containing some pale & flat looking fluid. In my experience it looks nothing like VB.)

Okay, you guys know more than I do LOL!
This is what I found useful :

:
Free A$20 per domestic flight
Qantas are now deliberately under catering flights between Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane & Adelaide by 5%. If you want to take a gamble, you can ask to sit in the last few rows. Normally the meals will run out just before you (the last 2 rows in a 737, the last 4 in a 767).
You will first be offered a free drink. Then you will be offered free cheese and biscuit. Finally, if you keep on refusing, you will be offered an A$20 voucher.

Yeah, agree sifting through a recycling newspaper bin is a lil quirky at the best of times!!!!
Oh well.... As long as he gets a kick out of it then all is good I suppose.
BTW. Notice the way he wears the same set of pants on just about every flight? Bar a cpl of times when jeans were worn... Unless he has multiple pairs of chino's...

Nothing wrong with having multiple pairs of chino's though
