Ah Yes! The screams of the frightened monopolist! they are always the same.

Its about jobs, its about national interest. Its about defence. Its about the economy. Its about (wait for it) the spirit of Anzac.

We have seen the cosy relationships slowly whittled away over time starting with textiles and footwear, electronics and manufactured goods and then the car industry.

Remember the car industry? Didn't they scream that the sky was falling as tariffs were reduced? The economy was going to collapse!

Now finally the cosiest, most protected little player is having the rock lifted of its nest and what do we see underneath? The same predictable BS. The employer whipping his employees into a frenzy about their jobs! The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

Guess what people? Remember the average Australian car twenty years ago? It was an overpriced heap of S**T compared to international offerings at the time. Did the sky fall? Do we now produce decent cars that are comparable with international products and good value for money? Yes.

QF services are just like the old Holden. Poor value for money. The Australian public (but not John Andersen) are fed up with getting overpriced crap product forced down their throats.

But guess what people? Its not you who are in the firing line. If Qf is going to compete, it has to start doing worlds best practice. And that starts with worlds best practice MANAGEMENT!

So its not you who should be in fear of SQ. Its GOD and his management cronies that are going to feel the first cold breath, not you lot, despite what he will say.

Go SQ!
