clotted, I'll be gentle with you because you are obviously emerging from the stupor of being a rusted on Liberal.

From a 2008 study.

"Geoff Dixon, another BCA board member, has been the CEO of QANTAS Airways Limited since 2001. Dixon’s career includes various positions within Qantas such as Executive Director, Deputy Chief Executive Communications, Group Executive General Manager of Communications and Executive General Manager of Marketing and Corporate Affairs. Outside the former state owned company, Dixon has worked for Air Pacific, Ansett and Leighton Holdings. Like his fellow board members in the Business Council, Dixon saw corporate goals clearly. In an address to the QANTAS General Meeting in October, 2005, Dixon endorsed the proposed IR reforms which would enter Parliament in November, stating: They will give established successful companies like Qantas greater flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions...Because if they do not, or if we do not, be sure that others will come in and use green fields costs or foreign structural advantages to devastating effect.54

It would have been utterly surprising if Dixon had not supported the reforms, considering the BCA had proposed them before the government. Dixon is an example of an ex-public sector manager who has benefited from the privatisation of QANTAS."

clotted, read that last paragraph again, and then read the next one about LC.

An ironic Qantas victory: Kohler

Obviously you've been out of the country for the last 10 years, all of what I said is on the public record, next time do some research before you accuse people of being drunk.
