Australia's national carrier Qantas said Wednesday November 22, 2006, it had been approached by Macquarie Bank and the Texas Pacific Group, but declined to give details amid speculation of a takeover. The approach, made on behalf of an unnamed consortium, was "confidential and incomplete" and was being investigated by Qantas, the airline's acting Company Secretary Cassandra Hamlin said in a statement to the Australian Stock Exchange.
