I’m nervous after that PM statement. It’s clear in that statement from the PM that they are not assisting. Bit hard to say that, then pull some 11th hour deal.

The Government isn’t going to help. Looks like a Shorten government would have.

There is only really one option left. Branson to give them a loan. That’s the last desperate measure before calling it a day. He didn’t save Virgin America.

I’m feeling everyone’s pain. I’m quite angry actually. It didn’t have to end like this. 20 years. What an absolute waste and will be the worst corporate disaster in my lifetime. Bryan and Borghetti need to be stripped of every single cent to their names.

We don’t want some bottom feeding loco from the far north taking over. I hope David Neeleman sees an opportunity to bring his pride and joy down under, because my god it would be a weapon here. That’s the sort of carrier we need here, what Virgin should have been, and what this market needs. Not a Lion or Air Asia.
