Sunfish,
I think you give the Qantas board too much credit for the intelligence that is required for this kind of divisive action. I just think that to get all this together requires the cooperation of a lot of people with the ability to keep it quiet while things are being carried out. It just HAS to break down somewhere and get leaked to the press.
While I think that much of this DOES occur, it would be in small tranches of unrelated issues. Put it all together and it would be an amazing coup.
On the other hand, if this scenario is true as Fedsec seems to imply, and both sides of politics are as complicit as each other, then this is the saddest state of Australian politics I've ever seen.
For the sake of us all I hope this NOT the case.
