It seems to me that this whole affair might bear an eerie resemblance to the Merchant of Venice.
Who plays the role of Shylock?
Is it APA or Darth or maybe the banks underwriting the takeover bid?
I'm leaning towards Darth and APA is Bassanio who wants to borrow on QF's credit.
Is Antonio represented by the QF employees?
Who plays Portia and rescues Antonio?
Perhaps some future Federal Government that has to pick up the pieces that Johnny Howard is allowing to happen.When you think about the defence implications alone QF cannot be allowed to go the way that Ansett did.
Remember though 2 of the best quotes from the play and I find them uncannily relevant...
"The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose."
"All that glitters is not gold."
