    Have friends stuck in the boring hole that is Auckland due to the #Qantas strike - not happy stuck there of all places is an understatement.

    While the Qantas crisis is a nightmare for some, it's a pretty good excuse to extend a holiday if you are stuck somewhere nice.

  19. The political debate continued to rage on Twitter. Sentiment was divided, with some supporting Qantas and others backing the unions.
  20. Alan Joyce says he's been overwhelmed with support. Twitter suggests otherwise. (Sentiment analysis) #qantas
