Airsupport, thanks for your support during this dispute.

Ultimately there are limits on what we can do industrially.

Keeping a viable industry in Australia is mostly a political decision.

I have seen many millions of dollars thrown at car companies over the years. That ,after being tariff protected for many more.

Aviation , despite its strategic importance to a large and isolated nation gets SFA help.

I am a firm believer in getting good people into the senate to represent the industry. We cant rely on a knife edge govt and hostile senate for support. If any major party gets both the reps and senate we're stuffed.

Labor failed at the last hurdle and interests within the party did us over for their own power base.Of that I am certain.
