Read the Polly speak, gentlemen:. . [quote]"The article is wrong.
We are not offering $90 million," Mr Bracks said.
Asked if the government was offering any money at all, Mr Bracks said: "No. I've said consistently, and this is true, that what we will offer is the equivalent of state taxes, payroll taxes forgone for several years."
"It's nothing,
nothing at all like $90 million. That is incorrect," he said.<hr></blockquote>
"...
nothing at all like $90 million."....It was $9
9 million - and of course that`s NOTHING like $90 mil!! <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> . .They`re SO clever these pollies. <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">
Precisely how much IS IT, Mr Bracks??? The people who voted you in have the RIGHT to be told!!
And so I guess that
Virgin Blue and QANTAS` new start-up,
Australian Airlines (which sounds extraordinarily like the Gov`t owned domestic airline of previous years) also qualify for a rebate in
VB`s case, and a similar exemption for AA when they kick off!
