RE: Crikey article.
I make the depreciation schedule around 1.3 billion per year on the proposed fleet upgrade - compliments the Aussie taxpayer.
Didn't AN fall over with debts of around 2.5 - 3 billion ?
Better check with Elvis and JFK.
That would equate to two years depreciation on the hoppers proposed fleet with 8 to run.
This probably will not eventuate until revision is made to the hoppers depreciation schedule.
Then they can pay for it ! - sounds reasonable.
