Thats the point Mr Hat
The Qantas Group is a big game of smoke and mirrors.
The Senators will soon realise that the Qantas group is no the big company it was and that Joyce say it is, and that it is a franchise that is full of foreign investment and shareholders. In order to survive that business relies on the breaking of fundamentl laws of the Australian Land. Not really the Spirit of Australia is it?? Unfortunately allowing Qantas to break the laws that they are breaking means that if the Government condone it then it will open the floodgates, many aspects of important Australian legislation will be in tatters.
remember I said it was about the people? Well the Airline Industry is just a trojan horse for Keith Abbott, HR Exec at Jetstar, (who incidently is undertaking his first job in an airline after a successul career in mining and oil) to get through changes in legislation/support from the Government before he and his friends rip the whole thing apart and he returns to the mining industry a hero!! Australian Citizens working for sham Asian corporations in the Australian mines getting paid Asian Money!! Potentially there will be no australian employers, they will all be based offshore and paying taxes to foreign countries.
Would it surprise you to know that Boston Consulting has clients in the Mining and oil industry?? Do you think KA's appointment was by chance??
I liken the business strategy to that employed by the banks who relied )and thrived on american credit to allow their own business to flourish. Check out Royal Bank of Scotland a bank that sub-contracted its lending to the US. Just see what happenned to them!!) Then the Americans buggerred their own economy and the bloody lot fell down just like a house of cards.
