You would think that a book with such a title would've blow the lid off QF's management and it's decrepit behaviour full stop, it didn't, as stated earlier it was just a collection of 'stories' put together from say newspaper article research, in depth research didn't seem to play apart.
Also you would think that the Engineers' dispute, the only real one under John Howard's tyrannical rule besides the wharfies would've rated more a mention, openly agreed by QF execs as costing them over 150 million just to fight it and countless millions maybe even a billion in forward bookings and reputation. That dispute exposed the despisement QF management had for even it's most trusted and valued employees, their complete and utter disregard for anyone but themselves and their unadulturated greed in continuing to feed unabated at the trough.
The simple fact that that dispute and it's victory by the engineers broke the glass ceiling that had reduced ALL employees at QF to nothing more than 3% PA should have been a few chapters on it's own, once again a little in depth research wouldv'e provided fair dinkum reading.
