I've heard conflicting stories re the 2 departinfg F100s. ALL from inside the company. Seems not even XR knows whats going on.
As for the meals, of course the company would prefer to supply some grub. It would probably cost them somewhere between 5 and 10 bucks a meal as opposed to the much higher allowance dictated by the ATO. I too would prefer the allowance. At least I could buy something decent.
