our current politicians of all party's do not have the fortitude or integrity to stand up to corporate greed.
Correct. That is because politicians on both sides are beholden to major corporations who have more money and power than they do. Just look at all the rackets that the Labour party has pulled over the years.
The whole '89 debacle with Hawke & Abels
Shafting Australian companies tendering for the NBN by accusing them all of price collusion then given the cream of the work to a foreign multinational
The debacle that was the pink batts, and the schools programs and all the price gouging.
The secret deal cut with the big mining companies over the mining tax and shafting all the smaller players
The Liberals were slightly less incompetent as they just created legislation that the big business wanted anyway. Less tax, corporation friendly work laws etc.
Don't forget too that senior politicians and PM's have much to lose over QF as they can kiss all that lifetime business class travel goodbye.
