Skywest airborne again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At approx. 1300 hrs Perth time it was announced to-day (21/9/01) that the Federal Liberal govt. was providing a $3.1 mill. line of credit (repayable at commercial interest rates in 1 year) in order to get Skywest flying again in W.A.
Gallop has really stuffed this one BIG TIME!!!
A Federal LIBERAL govt. has bailed out a state regional operator in a Labour run state.
The political kudos is invaluable for Johnnie and co. and all for a paltry 3.1 loan that will be repaid in 12 months!!!!!!!!
Whatever could the good Dr. Gallop have been thinking.
He has a large amount of egg on his face and will be lucky to survive the next two years in office, if he keeps this sort of crap up.
