After all the noise he and his manager made when IMU was swallowed by QF about it being anti competitive, wouldn't it all look a tad hypocritical?

Who would be left to whinge to the ACCC then?

ps does anyone else see the irony of Branson complaining to the Australian government about their competition laws? The guy doesen't live here, he is not a citizen, and doesn't vote here, he has no part in our governmental process yet he purports to exude power over it. GIVE ME A BREAK.

I wonder what would happen if an Aussie went to the UK and started a small airline, and thereafter started to criticise the way that the country runs it's self?.......They would be out of there before they could have time to wonder what they did wrong.

There's no way that RB could sell out to AN and stand with any credability.
