An Australian failure
It is inconceivable.
Once again Australian management have emulated the very low quality of strategic decision making as is demonstrated by the politicians.
Australia, with its incredible windfall from natural resources could be the envy of the rest of the world with first class medical, educational, research and in this case transport institutions.
Instead what do we have? Unsustainable theoretical economic models espoused by the Monash tea party set which has destroyed excellent organisations built up for years then sold to private enterprise whose sole purpose is to sweat the asset and bleed it dry. Wool, gold, agriculture and innovation built this country with vision such as the snowy scheme, now we have rank opportunists only interested in the short term and their own futures.
We could have the best boutique airline in the world, serving destinations that are frequented by Australians for reasons of business and leisure and exporting expertise and skills that were once the standard for the rest of the world.
Soon we will have nothing, just another Australian tragedy.
