The "wallys" in Canberra would do anyhting but let SQ start in Australia. Believe me, the rumours of SQ starting are just that. They are rumours started by vested interests to try and get SQ to declare their hand early, whatever way they will go. Nope, while you have Howard in the seat, you won't see SQ here. in fact, you won't see SQ here period.
SQ now lack the guts to start here, their run has been left far too late, they have been spooked by failings around the globe, and they have seen how hard ot would be to break the QF monopoly.
SQ needed Australia, in fact still need Australia to expand beyond Singapore, but like I said, they have left their run too late. You won't see them here, beleive me.
