Dragun, you’re being much to reasonable:-) let’s also mention that VA pays (I believe, but don’t have an actual figure) about 400 million a year in employee income and payroll taxes. Let’s also mention that QF has breached its foreign owned ratio a few times over the years, yes it was marginal due to bulk buying and was corrected when detected but, for a brief moment it was majority foreign owned. AJ has been spruiking for years to relax the Qantas Sale Act so they could get more foreign investment. Imagine if HNA or Etihad had invested in QF instead, and they would have if allowed, and were now struggling, dodged a bullet there........
