Fosters has been split back into separate beer & wine divisions, with the CUB beer division always profitable and the wine having to pull it's socks up.
Any Qantas sale is limited by the Qantas sale act, hence the current farce.
Just reading about Fosters and found a report on the 2011 AGM, the shareholders voted 99% to hive the wine division off and have Carlton United Brewery stand alone.
Pity we can't get 99% of Qantas shareholders to insist that J* is hived off and made to stand on it's own.
On another tack, checked out the Boeing customer list, Qantas is number 38 hence 438 838 etc, all those lovely 787's must be going to be -38's because you know who does not have a Boeing customer number.
