I don't know what they were meant to do with all these workers through the pandemic. They literally had no work for them and no money coming in to pay them. Given that lots of businesses laid off workers in that period, why was it illegal when Qantas did it?

I'm missing something. The article didn't really explain how this action infringed on fair worker's rights.

Qantas were still collecting Job keeper payments after they let go staff. Qantas also used the lockdown as an opportunity to outsource the work to Swissport during that period.
