Protection costs jobs. It does not create them.
Really? So we shouldn't be paying $14KG for Bananas from QLD after the cyclone and instead importing Phillipines bananas and paying $3KG?
We should just let the Chinese into farm our lands for themselves? Maybe we should just let them in and do the mining jobs as well?
Australia with no protection is an Australia where Australians are unemployed and that is exactly where long haul Qantas crew is heading. Fine to keep blaming QF management but it's not ALL their doing, the same way the QLD banana growers didnt cause the cyclone.
The difference is the Government wont let in cheap import bananas but they will let in cheap imported airlines.
If you keep down this pathway of a blame war with QF management and a failure to see the wider picture and a game of blame this is all going to end horrifically.
