Think the govt has more than enough to worry about than your vote....how many years down the track??
PS being honest that the owners - whose political/business crossovers are extensive - will not kick in funds could be seen as laying the (final) cards on the table.
There will never be a monopoly if VA go bust - first of all you need a travelling public TO monopolise, either government will facilitate the growth/induction of a new player (Alliance/Lion/PussyVirgin returning to its basics under the Tiger AOC....you know, the good old days when VA made money before delusions of adequacy/capability set in...whomever) and probably force QF to play nice until the market is better represented.
The owners aren't prepared to shore up their investment and wait/hope better days - yet the Australian govt should??
Yeah/nah....IMHO.
