What part of Cobham Australia do you suggest is profitable?

Border Force ending in 2 years, SAR loss making as the bid was half everyone else's, rumours Qantas is looking for people to develop B717 courses with only limited life left in em anyway and regional only very small. Be great to understand why Border Force or SAR would be retained? Safe for staff yes, safe from sale.....no.
