The money was to guarantee the entitlements ONLY. This was stated from day one. The unions & now Fox/Lew think they can grab it to fund the airline. It was only ever intended for the staff if there was a shortfall. Enough of wasting the employees entitlements, pay us out & let us get on with life!
I think Fox & Lew are a bit more subtle than Lang & DJ, but, ultimately, they want the same things only. Oh well, forget Ansett folks, it will disappear as an Australian symbol like Speedo's, Vegemite etc, etc, etc.
