Per The Guardian, Qantas signed a multi-year deal with Accenture to modernize its back-end systems with AI, cutting 850 Australian jobs and shifting some services to Accenture's India-based team. CEO Vanessa Hudson called the pace of change "unprecedented." First cuts will hit finance, procurement, HR and marketing staff, taking effect by mid-next year — the third major Australian corporate layoff plan in three weeks, after Canva and National Australia Bank.
