The doomsday rescue package HAS been worked out. It’s called 2001 REPLAY.......

The market will take years to recover, why have 2 players painfully limping on rather than one moderately strong player?

Control the monopoly with regulation.

Guarantee VAH employee entitlements.

What Scurrah & co don’t get is the sound of silence. If govt were ready with a definitive solution, we would have it. The lack of one indicates there will likely not be a rescue.

Its kinda getting awkward now, I suspect many in govt & elsewhere are just wanting VA to go away and quietly disappear. Then they can focus on entitlements and controlling QF. Maybe Scurrah does in fact get that, hence the ads, but it ain’t going to change anything.

Meanwhile, the poor bloody employees are seeing their entitlements whittled away week by week.

Hope won’t help pay bills, redundancy will.
