All this shipping/aviation stuff might be very important to you lot but really, mates, isn't getting the World Cup in Australia in 2018 the real issue?
Some one has to wake up, surely? All the signals are there about the rocks we are heading toward but nobody seems to care. Once everyone other than company directors are on the equivalent to Spotlight contracts then who will have the spare cash to drive the economy let alone afford to fly anywhere?
So what if the ship is crewed by non English speaking, non Australian crew? Exxon Valdez ring a bell?
Anybody read the threads about the European low cost carriers and their crewing issues might see a connection here but, hey, who cares.......
