Thats more honest than what Geoff Dixon and the Howard Government and Max Moore-Wilton did to Ansett to ensure it would never survive.
And what, pray tell was that, Geoff had a commercial responsibility to fight for his shareholders, it's called business and Howard et al had no business in providing CPR to a commercial enterprise.
Where were they when Onetel expired and why should Ansett staff get Government assistance with entitilements and benefits.?
The knock on effects of the HIH fiasco throughout the part of the economy directly affected had a demonstrable effect on the economy at large and make the Ansett staff entitlements look like petty cash.
But then they didn't, but should have had, the ACTU onside and a big fat carcass full of cash, for the Bobsey twins to pick over for the next godzillion years.
Mind you I think the insurance business is a bit too hard for the genii at Trades Hall, money doesn't understand standover "protection" bully boy tactics.
A boring and moronic gaunty.
