"You UNGRATEFUL, SELFISH, OUTRAGEOUS....yadda, yadda" <-
McGowan's commentary towards Qantas after they flagged running QF9/QF10 via the Top End. "
We paid $15 million to upgrade the Perth Terminal,
we funded the Perth-London flights, it's
our state money propping up the commonwealth and now
we're being punished for it!"
Perhaps Qantas should write McGowan a cheque and say
"here's your $15M you petulant trollop, now phuck off and let us run our business without the threat of closed borders because someone sneezed (which, by the way, have contributed to our business losing over $500M <Or other exact beancoutnery-type figure> this last year. If you decide you actually want
an international flight from Perth, try AirAsia or Scoot..."
Who would have thought that Qantas as a business would want some certainty going forwards to enable flights to resume? And on a personal note, given the choice of Perth or Darwin as a jumping off point to the UK, I'd choose Darwin in a heartbeat - and that's
not just to spite McGowan after the Border Bollocks - I much prefer Darwin as a city to
enjoy visiting over Perth. And the Territory Government seems to have been the most pragmatic in their dealings with Covid, locking out
hotspots over an
entire state until they really had no choice to do so, and reopening things as early as they reasonably could. They should be able to reap the rewards of that course of course of action.
