At the risk of sounding like I'm defending Comrade Helen (& I certainly wouldn't do that to the pinko,PC,green loving, military hater), the reason she didn't travel through the usual VIP channels(sp?) was 'cause she was on the way up to Afganistan to see the troops she "loves" so much with the odd stop-over in the Middle-East. As a security measure her advisers suggested using less visible means of getting there.
Interestingly she was met at the door of her Emirates flight (fly NZ made Helen!) by an Ozzie government official. Obviously someone recognised her?
Sounds like someone trying to make a name for him/herself.
I'm not suprised Mr Anderson isn't remorseful, he didn't exactly go out of his way to help (unless you were QANTAS) during the (here we go) Ansett collapse either.
