"1996 there was 104 Australian-manned ships, now we're down to less than half of that - if this one goes it's just another one so - shame Johnny shame," he said.
Yes, and the waterfront was the biggest rort of all times. Seamen feeding off lumpers and vice-versa. At least Patricks and Johnny cleaned it up.

As far as aviation goes, we already have foreign crews operating in Australian airlines today compliments of a labour government. The only difference is they earn good money !
