Aussie union threatens to ground Oasis
An Australian union has threatened to ground Oasis on their current tour Down Under.
Oasis will share top billing at the Livid Festival at Melbourne Park on October 19.
But the tour may be soured by Australian Services Union calls to leave Oasis standing on the tarmac.
ASU spokeswoman Linda White told The Herald Sun: "Serial offenders do not change their spots. Oasis should not be allowed to board a plane, basically."
"It is not acceptable that one airline can take passengers that another airline has banned for life because it just perpetuates the problem.
"Serial offenders should not fly."
Oasis are already banned from flying Cathay Pacific after an infamous 1998 incident.
Drunken band members smoked, became offensive and threatened passengers and crew on a flight to Perth.
But Livid Festival organiser Peter Walsh says he did not ask for good behaviour promises from Oasis.
He said: "I am not a headmaster standing at the front of the class with a cane handing out punishments. I believe things will be OK in the air, on the ground and wherever."
