Oh, I don't know, I was around in 1980, young, dumb and full of you know what. And there was not a chance of me being able to buy a ticket anywhere on an aircraft. It was something the elites did. Did more than one trip on the greyhound from Brisbane to Sydney, it's not something I'm keen to repeat, EVER. Anyone remember the Grafton bus crash that killed 21 people in '89? How about the Kempsey crash, also in '89. 35 dead.
Things are waaaaaay better now. But they could be even better, that would mean working together to make things better though, in Australia? Not a chance.
