"Queensland's Palaszczuk government confirmed it is providing $200 million to cash-strapped Virgin, with the airline having so far been unsuccessful in its request for a $1.4 billion loan from the federal government."
Call me a cynic but doesn't Ms. Palaszczuk have an election to fight in October.
Nothing like a coupla hundred mill to help secure a few more votes from the coupla thousand Virgin constituents.
Even better if you can promise something you probably won't have to spend.
