Seriously, Bain and similar organisations are not “Investors” in the sense of benign Superannuation funds with “ patient capital” planting acorns and waiting for them to grow into mighty oaks.

They are more like, perhaps unkindly, serial killers investing in more rope, handcuffs and ammunition. By the time Bain have finished Virgins suppliers, staff, the government, the industry and perhaps the general public will wish they would go away. They are not warm, cuddly people.

To put that another way, these guys will make the private owners of Sydney and Melbourne Airports look like amateurs when it comes to extracting money from Australians.

”Triple bottom line?” Ho ho! Ha ha!
