Destabilised.... my god fella you've got a bee in your bonet! Strongly suggest a bex and a lay down...didnt think your job would stress you out like this!
The first year, by BS, OK, but that has/had nothing to do with your continuing operations there, nor the rates that you persisted in, to the detriment of other commercial operators.
Our relationship with the French Antarctic support Division is an arrangement for several years and the prices are set (not that this is any of your business).
...you’ve made an assumption here!
Yes, as if Powercorp are going to sponsor a non charity They get a nice little tax benefit throwing money at LifeFlight, which they can't achieve elsewhere.
All sponsors pay Tax (GST) upon sponsorship payments which is the same they would pay if sponsoring a strictly commercial operator. Sponsors also receive NO tax deductibility or relief.
…you’ve made another assumption here too...
And I'm sure that they feel that their name flying around the Antarctic is really valuable to their shareholders/investors - NOT.
Our sponsors CEO sits upon our Board of Directors and has provided feedback to us that they support this... perhaps you purport to represent them now??
….again, another assumption (starting to see a pattern?)
Really? Really!! Utter BS. I thought that JE put you into the fire fighting game, and I can't remember that being back in 1999. You didn't even have a fire bucket until three years ago, so how was it your "core function", FCS.
Yes quite correct, John Ecott did introduce us to the NSW Fire Services, and yes we didn’t have a bucket until 2001/2. In fact we didn’t have a lot of items due to financial constraints of a start up operation. But we've grown and acquired equipment as and when we could afford to do it..... This doesn’t change an organisations objectives!!!!! Just because we couldn’t afford everything right from day one!!!
….another assumption!!!!
I guess this makes you a cereal ASSumer???
Best of luck pal (whoever you are), ....I think you are one of those people who find the world quite challenging...
