Dixon is playing the Politician. His argument is fact free.
Qantas invested in new equipemnt and people, not out of the goodness of their heart or any concern for Australians but to make more money.
If he threatens that Australian jobs will be sent offshore, it will be done for no other reason than to make more money
Corporations exist to make more money
Corporations will do anything at all to make more money
From extensive personal and business experience, whenever you hear any company telling the public that it exists to employ Australians, pay Australian taxes, contribute to the growth of the Australian economy, fly sick children to hospital, save baby dolphins, or make a contribution to the community, etc. you are hearing bull****. And the statement is invariably followed by a request for either public money or public or Government assistance.
Mr. Dixons statement falls neatly into this category.
