(Dave Hunt/AAP PHOTOS) Credit: AAPUnlawfully sacked Qantas workers will finally share in a $40 million payout, with a judge "drawing a line in the sand" on persistent delays while criticising the compensation administrator for a lack of transparency. Of the $90 million penalty, $50 million has already been paid to the Transport Workers' Union for highlighting and prosecuting the illegal conduct. "I should draw a line in the sand from today," he said as he ordered the payment be "decoupled" from the wider compensation scheme. Impacted Qantas worker Bryan Perrett told the court the outstanding fine money should be split equally among affected workers. Transport Workers Union delegate Don Dixon said the decision handed down was just and fair.
