Summary
The federal government is investing nearly forty million dollars to overhaul aviation consumer rights, creating a new watchdog and independent ombudsman scheme to handle traveler issues. This move aims to give passengers real power, including potential compensation for cancellations and delays. The proposed laws could be in effect within months, bringing Australia closer to European standards. Consumer advocates support the changes, while airlines push back, warning of potential price hikes. The government has appointed an interim ombudsperson, signaling a shift in airline accountability.
