Their not. Australians by their very nature are slow to get involved, or excited about most things, but there a few things nobody dares touch, (1) are the Anzacs, ((2) the National Carrier, they will whinge and complain about it and the staff, but let a outsider do the same thing and they will close ranks. I saw it time and time again up the track, all moaning about the company, until someone from another airline agrees with them, and they are then told smartly to get nicked. (Especially if they were BA or TE)! Ask any MP what happened when Dixon tried to flog the airline of to MacBank their offices just about buckled under the emails that came in totally against it. Outrage, fury, they had been woken out of their stupor, and reacted accordingly. You can go on, different footy codes etc, the Australian cricket side, things that are so totally Australian, so embedded in the psyche, of the Australian people, you would be a brave man to destroy it. QF is one of them.
