I don't always agree with Mr Hamilton, but in this case I'll make an exception.
There has been way way too much politics and carpetbagging and too little expert reality in this whole scenario for there to be any confidence that it'll get up and stay up.
I will fight to the death for the regions and the necessity of regional air services they are as much part of the social fabric of out nation as is the road system.
They should not be the playthings of the pollies and carpetbaggers.
