  The Australian government has issued a stern warning to horror fans flocking to cinemas to see the ultra-violent slasher film Terrifier 3, cautioning audiences about its extreme content and disturbing themes.
  
  
  The film, directed by Damien Leone, has drawn huge crowds since it's release on October 10, as it continues
  the blood-soaked saga of Art the Clown with more gruesome, stomach-churning scenes.
  
  
  The movie has broken box office records as horror enthusiasts are lured in by the
  film's reputation for intense violence and shock value.
  
  
  The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications,
  and the Arts has warned Australian audiences to prepare for scenes
  of graphic violence, dismemberment and disturbing themes that go well beyond typical horror fare.
  
  
  The film includes brutal depictions of murder using a variety of
  weapons, from chainsaws to axes and guns, resulting in explicit injury detail and copious amounts of blood.
  
  
  The warning also highlights that the movie portrays self-harm, cannibalism, animal cruelty and violence involving children, pushing the boundaries of what the most hardened
  horror fans has seen before.
  
  One of the film's more controversial moments includes a scene of implied masturbation coupled with self-harm, along with a
  shower scene that hints at sexual activity.

  continues the blood-soaked saga of Art the Clown with more gruesome,
  stomach-churning scenes 
  
  In addition, male genital nudity and obscured shots of
  female breast and buttock nudity have caused concern among viewers and the classification board alike.
  
  
  
  The film's R18+ rating in Australia is due to its high impact violence,
  blood, gore and explicit sexual content.
  
  Despite these warnings, audiences have turned out in droves.

  This latest instalment of the Terrifier franchise is a continuation of the sadistic horror unleashed by Art the Clown, a
  character who has now become a modern horror icon for his relentless brutality.
  
  
  In Terrifier 3, Art's reign of terror continues, once again targeting Sienna Shaw who narrowly survived his attacks
  in the previous movie.
  
  Sienna, portrayed by actress Lauren LaVera, takes on Art in a deadly showdown that is as gory as it is horrifying, featuring scenes of
  decapitations, dismemberments and visceral body horror.

  'Traumatising' horror sequel leaves two Perth moviegoers unconscious and one injured
  
  
  The Terrifier franchise, which began in 2016, quickly
  gained a cult following due to its extreme violence and over-the-top
  death scenes.
  
  The first film, which saw Art the Clown mutilate a victim with a hacksaw, shocked
  audiences with its brutal kill sequences.
  
  The sequel, Terrifier 2, went viral last year after reports emerged that viewers
  were fainting and vomiting in cinemas due to its graphic content.
  
  
  Now, with Terrifier 3, Leone has doubled down on the carnage, taking
  the gore to new, unsettling levels.
  
  Despite Australia's strict film censorship laws, Terrifier 3 was approved
  for theatrical release with a strong warning attached.
  
  
  
  The film's notoriety has only heightened its appeal to
  horror fans, who continue to fill cinemas across the country.
  
  
  Earlier this month, two people fainted and fled for the exit
  when it hit a Perth cinema for early previews.
  
  
  According to multiple eye witness accounts, one
  young woman badly injured herself after she fell down the cinema stairs while fleeing the
  movie theatre.
  
  'This is going to sound made up and I promise you it's not,' Australian horror film
  critic Emma Clarke began her review of David Leone's controversial new
  horror-slasher.
  
  The Rotten Tomatoes verified critic said two people fainted right in front of her during the screening
  she attended at Innaloo Cinemas in Perth over the weekend.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  The first fainted during the opening scene, she said in her film review shared to
  YouTube, and the second nearer to the end of the two-house spectacle.
  
  
  'Can you tell me... why did two people feint right in front
  of me during that film?' she said.
  
  'Both trying to run down the stairs to get to the bathrooms because they felt so
  queasy.'
  
  The horror film fanatic said she spoke to both people and
  tried to assist them because she was seated directly
  behind them.
  
  The first was a man, who left with a friend who came to check on him, and second Australian victim was a young woman.
  
  'This poor girl gashed her head open as she fell down the stairs,
  I felt so bad for her. I went and checked on her
  afterwards,' Clarke claimed.
  
  'She did get help. She was with her friend. It really shook me up too.
  It actually took me out of the film for the moment.'
  
  The reviewer, who has been sharing her thoughts on scary movies for the past four years, said she has
  never seen audience members have such a visceral reaction to a film.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Many cinema-goers in Sydney and Melbourne reportedly clapped and cheered during some of the film's most grotesque death scenes
  
  Clarke described the third installment of Leone's series
  — which is set to open nationally on Thursday, October 11 — as ' fun, intense, gory, disturbed,
  and over the top.'
  
  'I'm not used to horror actually hurting people, so that was a really strange experience,
  ' she said.
  
  'Before anyone says they're paid actors, I saw the girl and she had injuries.
  
  They were both very young people. I feel really awful about it
  to be honest.'
  
  'It was a very scary moment trying to help them out.'

  Joe Aston got the kind of book launch every first time author dreams of - massive amounts of free
  publicity online, in newspapers and on TV and radio. 
  
  And it was all thanks to Anthony Albanese's ill-informed attack
  on Aston over what was written in his book, The Chairman's
  Lounge - The Inside Story of how Qantas sold us out.
  
  
  
  Despite the resultant terrible publicity - which has led to him being called 'upgrade Albo' - and calls for an inquiry,
  Aston told Daily Mail Australia his book is 'not a hit job on Anthony
  Albanese'.
  
  Aston insisted he's 'not trying to get a
  scalp', but reiterated that the Prime Minister 'had a direct line to Alan Joyce'.
  
  
  The book claims Mr Albanese got 22 upgrades from economy on Qantas flights by personally requesting
  them from the airline's then CEO Mr Joyce - which the
  Prime Minister has categorically denied.
  
  According to unnamed Qantas 'insiders', 11 of the 22 flights
  Mr Albanese got upgrades for were 'privately funded' and included overseas trips
  to Rome, London, Los Angeles and Honolulu. 
  
  But instead of addressing the claim, Mr Albanese chose to shoot the messenger
  and, in turn, shot himself in the foot. 
  
  He said Aston was using the accusations to sell books and said he was
  hiding his employment history. 
  
  'I don't see declarations that he's a former Liberal Party
  staffer… I don't see declarations he's a former Qantas
  employee,' the Prime Minister said. 
  
  But before the book even gets to the contents page
  there is a photo of Aston that refers to him as
  the then-Qantas corporate communications senior adviser. 
  
  
  
  
  Joe Aston (pictured) got the kind of book launch every first
  time author dreams of - massive amounts of free publicity
  online, in newspapers and on TV and radio
  
  
  
  
  
  Anthony Albanese (right) is pictured with his fiance Jodie Haydon (left) and then Qantas CEO Alan Joyce on March 31, 2023 in Sydney, Australia
  
  And the first chapter of the book reveals that he worked for then-Liberal MP Bruce Baird, who
  held the southern Sydney seat of Cook before Scott Morrison. 
  
  'My professional history is not a secret or not disclosed, it's
  in the first line of the first page of the book,' Aston said on Tuesday night,
  just before his book launch. 
  
  Though he was grateful for the free publicity Mr Albanese's response gave the book, Aston was still 'staggered' at
  the untrue claims about him the Prime Minister
  made. 
  
  'He's under enormous pressure and I know, I've seen this many times with public figures and leaders who struggle to see their own part in it,
  the terrible circumstances that they create,' he said.

  Extravagant Qantas perk Anthony Albanese
  FAILED to declare is revealed... after two days of denials
  
  
  Asked if Mr Albanese had been poorly advised in his attack, Aston, who is a former Australian Financial Review columnist, wonders if the Prime Minister 'even listens
  to advice at this point'.
  
  'All he's doing is talking around the issue and he's blaming me and he's
  blaming other MP's for also taking upgrades (on Qantas flights).
  
  
  'He's avoiding the only thing that he can't talk about, which is, did you ask Qantas for confirmed upgrades on your private holidays when you were the Transport Minister?
  The answer is "yes" and he's desperately trying to
  avoid saying it.'
  
  Smelling blood, Opposition leader Peter Dutton said the Prime
  Minister should refer himself to the anti-corruption commission over the flight upgrades.
  
  
  
  Coming on top of Mr Albanese's tone deaf purchase of a $4.3million clifftop mansion while so many people are struggling to pay their mortgage or rent, the latest blow to his
  credibility has led to calls for him to resign.
  
  Aston refuses to be drawn on this, though. 
  
  'I never expected this (part of the book) to even this part to get this far.
  I really am shocked at how it's blown up.
  
  
  
  
  Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is pictured with the then Qantas CEO Alan Joyce
  
  
  
  
  
  Anthony Albanese is pictured on August 14, 2023 as Qantas unveiled its Yes23 livery in support of a Yes vote in the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum 
  
  
  
  
  
  Among the movers and shakers at Joe Aston's book launch in the ritzy Hemmesphere club in Sydney was Tabcorp director David Gallop (pictured)
  
  
  
  
  
  Paul Barry (pictured in blue shirt), the host of the ABC's Media Watch show, was also
  at the launch
  
  'So to the extent that it has, I would say ... anyone who reads the book will learn that this book is not
  a hit job on Anthony Albanese. This book is about Qantas. 
  
  'Anthony Albanese is an example of how Qantas influences politicians on both sides of the aisle, Labor, Liberal,
  National, you name it. They've been doing it for more than a
  generation.
  
  'They're the best influence peddler in Australia. I'm not here trying
  to get a scalp. That's not what this book is about and it never was.'
  
  But the conversation Daily Mail Australia had with Aston mirrors the conversations being
  had across Australia and eventually winds up back on Mr Albanese. 
  
  'Even I've underestimated how fed up the public is with the
  freebie mindset of politicians,' he said.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Guests at Joe Aston's book launch on Tuesday night are pictured pointing for emphasis or
  to someone they recognise
  
  
  
  
  
  There was no shortage of free alcohol (pictured) available at the launch of Joe Aston's book 
  
  
  
  
  
  Joe Aston is pictured in the exclusive Hemmesphere club in Sydney, where
  his book The Chairman's Lounge was launched
  
  'And unfortunately for Albanese, he's been in politics a long
  time and that kind of behaviour is quite normalised
  to him, is what I've seen. 
  
  'I mean, he loves the free concert tickets and sitting at the front row of the Australian Open Tennis. 
  
  'I went to the Australian Open Tennis as a journalist almost every year for
  12 years and he was the only Prime Minister (I saw there).
  
  
  'Those tickets are worth thousands of dollars to sit in the front row of the International Grand Slam.
  He's the first Prime Minister who I've ever seen do that.
  
  
  'That to me is a sign that he doesn't quite get what
  it looks like to others when he's on the gravy train. And I think (the claims in the book are) just another
  example of that.'
  
  In Australian politics it's regular practise for an MP's travel to be booked in economy, then someone in their office phones the airline and asks if their flight can be upgraded. 
  
  The difference with the Prime Minister is that 'he had a very direct
  line to Alan Joyce,' Aston said.
  
  'The other thing is there's a difference between an upgrade where it's
  in the booking and if the seat's empty when the flight closes, you'll get upgraded.
  
  
  'This is different. This is a confirmed upgrade where the ticket is converted and you
  are guaranteed. You're not going to the airport crossing your fingers going
  "Geez, I hope there is a spare seat".
  
  
  
  'You're guaranteed. You turn up knowing you're getting a seat
  and the only person at Qantas who can issue those types of
  upgrades is the CEO. No other executive can do that.
  
  'So it is beyond question that Alan joints authorised these upgrades (for Anthony Albanese).'
  
  Aston enjoyed many upgrades to the pointy end of planes
  during his time as a travel journalist, and understands the attraction for politicians to get up there. 
  
  'These things are tempting and it's human nature too. Once you've experienced the
  front of the plane, it's very hard to go back.
  
  
  'For politicians, they run around with all these staff and they've got chauffeured cars and
  they fly in business, but they don't get paid like
  CEOs ...
  
  'They're not in a situation where they can afford to go flying around in the front of the
  plane on personal travel. 
  
  'A normal person would say "Therefore I won't (fly business class). But (for politicians) it's a culture of entitlement.'
  
  Aston is careful to point out that most people would say politicians are 'very well paid compared to the average worker'.
  
  But that doesn't stop some MPs from desperately seeking a free ride, whether it's a flight upgrade, concert tickets or the executive box at sporting events. 
  
  
  Late on Wednesday night, a spokeswoman Mr Albanese said 'The Prime Minister did not ever call Alan Joyce seeking an upgrade'.
  
  'All travel has been appropriately declared and is a matter of public record.'
  
  Daily Mail Australia has contacted Qantas for comment.  
  
  The Chairman's Lounge - The Inside Story of how Qantas sold us out, by Joe Aston, is available now in bookshops and from online retailers
  
  WHAT IS THE QANTAS CHAIRMAN'S LOUNGE?
  
  The Qantas Chairman's Lounge is an invitation-only club approved by the company chairman, with the guest list a closely-guarded secret.
  
  It has been dubbed 'the most exclusive club in the country' and comes with a distinct black card.
  
  Members include senior-ranking MPs such as ministers, state premiers and the Prime Minister, leaders of major unions and sporting groups, Qantas ambassadors, selected A-list celebrities, major corporate figures and high-profile media personalities.
  
  The clubs can be found in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide airports but are not signposted - you have to know where to look.
  
  Inside you will find expensive wood and brass furnishings, wool carpet and marble flooring, all bathed in natural light. 
  
  Members enjoy fine à la carte dining with a complimentary premium array of beers, spirits and Australian wines. Wine bottles are often given as departing gifts.
  
  Facilities may also include spas, showers and an assortment of books and magazines.
  
  Members may bring in two guests at a time. 
  
  Lounge attendants personally alert you when your flight is ready to board, and your personal preferences are logged for each flight. 
  
  Membership also entitles you to first-class facilities at Qantas partner airlines.

  In an early scene in "Smile 2," the fictional pop superstar Skye
  Riley is in her drug dealer's apartment. "Do you believe in weird stuff?" he asks her, between doing lines of coke.
  
  
  You certainly will after this horror romp - writer-director Parker Finn's second movie that suddenly opens
  up the franchise with the promises of multiple directions in the future.
  Not for that drug dealer, though: He soon smiles at her demonically as he
  repeatedly slams a 35-pound gym weight into his head, making it hamburger.
  
  
  "Smile 2" lands as unsettling grins are plastered on pumpkins and
  politicians alike as we approach Halloween and Election Day, and the psychotic, overly made-up leads
  of "Joker: Folie à Deux" have been putting up a brave face at their terrible box-office numbers.
  
  
  So it's the perfect time for a sequel to 2020's "Smile," which bridged the
  gap between elevated art horror and straight-out, unapologetic slasher.
  Finn this time takes on fame, a better tonal fit than the generational trauma of the first.
  
  It's a meditation on breakdowns in the public eye, with a side dish of
  body horror.
  
  We start six days after the last movie but they are barely connected - a single
  character for a few minutes - as we watch a demon that forces its victims to smile before meeting a
  gruesome end working its way into the low-level drug
  game.
  
  The evil entity will eventually glom onto our heroine,
  Skye, a fictional Grammy-winning pop superstar akin to if
  Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus had a baby. We meet her a year after
  a horrific car crash she was in that killed her famous boyfriend and left her with a Vicodin addiction and rumors about whether she had anything to do with it.
  That drug dealer has now infected Skye, but she has no idea
  what's in store (or in score, the terrific work of
  Cristobal Tapia de Veer).
  
  
  
  
  This image released by Paramount Pictures shows Naomi Scott
  in a scene from "Smile 2." (Paramount Pictures via AP)
  
  On thing to really beam about is leading lady Naomi Scott going for it all-out,
  all snot, smeared blood and wide-eyed, full on-fear.
  
  Scott manages to pour her humanity into the part - diva, whimpering, defiant,
  strung out, panicked. She even sings on the soundtrack - songs that
  are credible hits.
  
  The smile demon collides with Skye as she's about to launch a comeback tour and the
  pressure is on. Finn is at his best here, mocking confessional TV interviews - a Drew Barrymore cameo, a nice touch - full of self-work and apologies: "I let you down and I promise this will never happen again."
  Her management demands that she show up "smile and read from the teleprompter." Skye's mom
  - on the payroll - is little help: "You need to stay hydrated," she tells her after Skye is
  clearly in torment.
  
  Finn has become a much more assured filmmaker and uses humor
  so well here, from nasty gangsters enjoying pumpkin Frappuccinos to our heroine Googling "Does vomit have DNA?" He's still fond
  of jump-scares and blood spurting and gross-out tricks,
  like a body dragged by a truck until it's just a smear with entrails.
  One delightful moment has Skye chased by demonic backup dancers,
  a Bob Fosse-meets-"Thriller" sequence.
  
  Finn also has a ball putting his heroines
  into cringe-worthy situations. In the first movie,
  a murdered cat got bundled into a kid´s birthday present.
  In this one, it's a impromptu speech in front of
  music industry types that goes horrifically off the rails.
  He's got a deeper target: How do we quiet those
  voices in our heads that say we're no good?
  
  
  
  Finn's script sometime lags as he searches for an ending for
  "Smile 2," seemingly in two minds, before basically delivering both,
  kicking up dream sequences and alternate timelines like a squid pumping out ink to cover its tracks.
  Over two hours ends up being too long.
  
  But he has found a great satirical target, given life to a third film easily and showcased
  another rising star to watch. That's a reason to, well, smile about.
  
  
  
  "Smile 2," a Paramount Pictures release that lands in movie theaters
  on Friday, is rated R for "strong bloody violent content, grisly images, language throughout and drug use." Running time: 127 minutes.
  Three stars out of four.

  Joe Aston got the kind of book launch every first time author dreams

  Party staffer… I don't see declarations he's a former Qantas
  employee,' the Prime Minister said. 
  
  But before the book even gets to the contents page there is a photo of
  Aston that refers to him as the then-Qantas corporate communications senior adviser. 
  
  
  
  
  Joe Aston (pictured) got the kind of book launch every first time author dreams of - massive amounts of free publicity online, in newspapers and on TV and radio

  Alan Joyce on March 31, 2023 in Sydney, Australia
  
  And the first chapter of the book reveals that he worked for then-Liberal MP Bruce Baird, who held the southern Sydney seat of Cook before Scott Morrison. 
  
  'My professional history is not a secret or not disclosed, it's
  in the first line of the first page of the book,' Aston said on Tuesday night, just before his book launch. 
  
  Though he was grateful for the free publicity Mr Albanese's
  response gave the book, Aston was still 'staggered' at the untrue claims about him the Prime Minister made. 
  
  'He's under enormous pressure and I know, I've seen this many
  times with public figures and leaders who struggle to see their own part in it, the
  terrible circumstances that they create,' he said.

  Extravagant Qantas perk Anthony Albanese FAILED to declare is revealed...
  after two days of denials
  
  
  Asked if Mr Albanese had been poorly advised in his attack, Aston, who
  is a former Australian Financial Review columnist, wonders if the Prime
  Minister 'even listens to advice at this point'.
  
  
  'All he's doing is talking around the issue and he's blaming me and he's blaming other MP's for also taking upgrades (on Qantas flights).
  
  
  'He's avoiding the only thing that he can't talk about, which is, did you ask Qantas
  for confirmed upgrades on your private holidays when you were the
  Transport Minister? The answer is "yes" and he's desperately trying to avoid saying
  it.'
  
  Smelling blood, Opposition leader Peter Dutton said the Prime Minister should
  refer himself to the anti-corruption commission over the flight upgrades.
  
  
  
  Coming on top of Mr Albanese's tone deaf purchase of a $4.3million clifftop mansion while so many people
  are struggling to pay their mortgage or rent, the latest blow to his credibility has led
  to calls for him to resign.
  
  Aston refuses to be drawn on this, though. 
  
  'I never expected this (part of the book) to even this part to get this far.
  I really am shocked at how it's blown up.
  
  
  
  
  Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is pictured with the then Qantas CEO Alan Joyce
  
  
  
  
  
  Anthony Albanese is pictured on August 14, 2023 as Qantas unveiled its Yes23 livery in support of a Yes vote in the Indigenous
  Voice to Parliament referendum 
  
  
  
  
  
  Among the movers and shakers at Joe Aston's book launch
  in the ritzy Hemmesphere club in Sydney was Tabcorp director David Gallop (pictured)
  
  
  
  
  
  Paul Barry (pictured in blue shirt), the host of the ABC's Media Watch show, was
  also at the launch
  
  'So to the extent that it has, I would say ... anyone
  who reads the book will learn that this book is not a hit job on Anthony Albanese.
  This book is about Qantas. 
  
  'Anthony Albanese is an example of how Qantas influences politicians on both
  sides of the aisle, Labor, Liberal, National, you name it.
  They've been doing it for more than a generation.
  
  'They're the best influence peddler in Australia. I'm not here trying to get a scalp.
  
  That's not what this book is about and it never was.'
  
  But the conversation Daily Mail Australia had
  with Aston mirrors the conversations being had across Australia and eventually winds up back on Mr Albanese. 
  
  'Even I've underestimated how fed up the public is with the freebie mindset of politicians,' he said.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Guests at Joe Aston's book launch on Tuesday night are pictured pointing for emphasis or to someone they recognise
  
  
  
  
  
  There was no shortage of free alcohol (pictured) available at the launch of Joe Aston's book 
  
  
  
  
  
  Joe Aston is pictured in the exclusive Hemmesphere club in Sydney, where his book The Chairman's Lounge was launched
  
  'And unfortunately for Albanese, he's been in politics a long time and that kind of behaviour is
  quite normalised to him, is what I've seen. 
  
  'I mean, he loves the free concert tickets and sitting at the front row of the Australian Open Tennis. 
  
  'I went to the Australian Open Tennis as a journalist
  almost every year for 12 years and he was the only Prime Minister
  (I saw there).
  
  'Those tickets are worth thousands of dollars to sit in the front
  row of the International Grand Slam. He's the first Prime Minister who I've ever seen do
  that.
  
  'That to me is a sign that he doesn't quite get what it looks
  like to others when he's on the gravy train. And I think (the claims
  in the book are) just another example of that.'
  
  In Australian politics it's regular practise for an MP's travel
  to be booked in economy, then someone in their office phones the airline and asks if their flight can be upgraded. 
  
  The difference with the Prime Minister is that 'he had
  a very direct line to Alan Joyce,' Aston said.
  
  'The other thing is there's a difference between an upgrade where it's in the booking and if the seat's empty when the flight closes,
  you'll get upgraded.
  
  'This is different. This is a confirmed upgrade where the ticket is converted and you are guaranteed.
  You're not going to the airport crossing your fingers going "Geez, I hope there is a spare seat".
  
  
  
  
  'You're guaranteed. You turn up knowing you're getting a seat and
  the only person at Qantas who can issue those types of upgrades is the CEO.
  No other executive can do that.
  
  'So it is beyond question that Alan joints authorised these upgrades (for Anthony Albanese).'
  
  Aston enjoyed many upgrades to the pointy end of planes during his time as a travel journalist, and understands the attraction for
  politicians to get up there. 
  
  'These things are tempting and it's human nature too.
  Once you've experienced the front of the plane, it's very
  hard to go back.
  
  'For politicians, they run around with all these staff and they've got chauffeured cars
  and they fly in business, but they don't get paid like CEOs ...
  
  
  'They're not in a situation where they can afford to go flying around in the front of
  the plane on personal travel. 
  
  'A normal person would say "Therefore I won't (fly business class). But (for politicians) it's a culture of entitlement.'
  
  Aston is careful to point out that most people would say politicians are 'very well paid compared to the average worker'.
  
  But that doesn't stop some MPs from desperately seeking a free ride, whether it's a flight upgrade, concert tickets or the executive box at sporting events. 
  
  
  Late on Wednesday night, a spokeswoman Mr Albanese said 'The Prime Minister did not ever call Alan Joyce seeking an upgrade'.
  
  'All travel has been appropriately declared and is a matter of public record.'
  
  Daily Mail Australia has contacted Qantas for comment.  
  
  The Chairman's Lounge - The Inside Story of how Qantas sold us out, by Joe Aston, is available now in bookshops and from online retailers
  
  WHAT IS THE QANTAS CHAIRMAN'S LOUNGE?
  
  The Qantas Chairman's Lounge is an invitation-only club approved by the company chairman, with the guest list a closely-guarded secret.
  
  It has been dubbed 'the most exclusive club in the country' and comes with a distinct black card.
  
  Members include senior-ranking MPs such as ministers, state premiers and the Prime Minister, leaders of major unions and sporting groups, Qantas ambassadors, selected A-list celebrities, major corporate figures and high-profile media personalities.
  
  The clubs can be found in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide airports but are not signposted - you have to know where to look.
  
  Inside you will find expensive wood and brass furnishings, wool carpet and marble flooring, all bathed in natural light. 
  
  Members enjoy fine à la carte dining with a complimentary premium array of beers, spirits and Australian wines. Wine bottles are often given as departing gifts.
  
  Facilities may also include spas, showers and an assortment of books and magazines.
  
  Members may bring in two guests at a time. 
  
  Lounge attendants personally alert you when your flight is ready to board, and your personal preferences are logged for each flight. 
  
  Membership also entitles you to first-class facilities at Qantas partner airlines.

  certainly like your web site but you have to check the spelling on several of your posts.
  A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I to find it
  very troublesome to tell the truth nevertheless
  I'll surely come back again.
