waren9, you obviously have no objection to Australia and Australians, seeing as a Kiwi you are working in Australia and reaping the rewards.....get one thing straight, and I know this is hard for you Kiwis to accept as you like to think you are one above Australians...a bit rich if you ask me, coming from a culture that stood in the docks in court and orchestrated a litany of lies with Erebus..but anyway, you guys in NZ have a chip on both shoulders...
Bottom line.....Air NZ didnt have to buy Ansett......they only did so as a result of the Kiwi small d!ck syndrome.....in a nutshell.
