So when a company owned by foreign interest's, which is mismanaged and possibly asset striped to a point where it's loosing 18 mil per week go's bust its the Australian
governments fault ? somehow I doubt that very much KYBO
Had SIA bought AN they would have had to make some very heavy cuts to the company
to get it viable, lots of jobs lost and pay reductions (perhaps not as many as the current unfortunate circumstances I concede). And you would be in here blaming Mr. Howard anyway, some bleeding heart lefty hacks from the press would undoubtedly blame the PM as well.
So where was the government of the day when compass (an Australian owned company)
went Bust ? Where was there government bail out and the regulation of fares, gee thats right - that was the government that called us “glorified bus drivers “ just a few years previously.
