Finally!!!!!!!! After all this time!!!!! Kaptin M has named the beasts in the 1989 debacle, and bloody good on you for doing so.

It wasn't and never was the ones who went back that were the villians, not was it the ones who stayed out. It was Murdoch, Abeles and Hawke that pitted mate against mate.

When you look at it, a masterwork of psychological manipulation of a very intelligent and egotistical (yes you all are, otherwise you would not be where you are or were) group of people.

I now run a very profitable Travel Agency with excellent staff, drive the 20 year old sports car (of course it is a bloody z!) that I always wanted, but would trade it all if someone could give me my mighty little airline back.

It aint going to happen though.

We are hopefully moving beyond 1989, because God knows, we have more than enough hurdles being placed in front of us in the current climate.

Now, we need each other more than ever.

Best regards
