If you think Singapore are out help Australia, you are just naive. The country is a benevolent dictatorship. Singapore are looking for profits at Australia’s expense. There will be No maintenance done in Australia, No aircraft registered in Australia, and No meaningful jobs in Australia. It will all be based in Singapore along with what's left of your aviation future.
If they are granted access to the Pacific it will make it almost economically impossible for any other Australian carrier to start.
I have no particular liking for Qantas, especially the way things are heading, but I would find it a sad day indeed, if the politicians in Canberra, sell out our aviation future, to Singapore. They already have a disportionate share of Australian travel

If you have feelings about it, write or email the Minister for Transport

Or

The Hon. John Anderson
Minister For Transport and Regional Services
Parliament House
Canberra ACT
