Another tax whilst putting Australians out of work?
No way. If Australian & American airlines can't compete with QF, and begrudingly SQ needed for competition, their hand needs to be forced into employing a suitable number of Australian airline personnel.
Ain't nothing wrong with a Singapore girl named Cheryl!
