Finally the magic words were uttered...
I was wondering when this cabotage saga would start. The current agreements with Singapore and new Zealand do not circumvent the current rules on cabotage yet loopholes are being exploited. In EVERY other industry cabotage is the backbone of their operations. Once again look at the marine industry, it's the only reason we have one, otherwise ships would sail down from Asia every day to operate our rigs etc. When will they get a clue?
Good work senator btw, shows how little the government do know about there portfolios "we have spoken to qantas" oh and what did they say? How about INVESTIGATING it instead of flicking an email with a quick - excuse me are you being naughty mr qantas?
Anyway - end rant!
