Isn't blaming every kiwi for the demise of ansett kind of like blaming every arab for the demise of the WTC and the Pentagon? There are but a few posts on this thread that have managed purely objective opinions. Is wanting to take Air NZ down with Ansett really a sensible, responsible or reasoned opinion? I think not. We're all in this together in more ways than you seem to realise. The demise of Ansett while affecting those Australian employees worst of all, indirectly affects everyone in this part of the world. Lets have some constructive posts rather than Kiwi bashing garbage.
