Totally irrelevant.
A LegCo member claiming that competition is good is hardly groundbreaking news.
An LCC is no bad thing for the people of HK. There is already LCC operations based at HKIA, and many more operating in and out.
The point is, under its current management infrastructure, it violates the HK legal constitution - Basic Law. Until that happens, Jokestar HK will remain a stillborn.
Now, I appreciate you have difficulties understanding why or how CX principle management adheres to Basic Law, and the corporate structure isn't exactly straightforward. However, worry not about where the CX business and management wield their swords - they exist in HK already; rather, worry more about the fact that this isn't Fair Work Australia. Love or loathe them, CX are highly combative, very influential, very closely allied (through many avenues) with highly influential figures on the Mainland, and most importantly, they do have a case in Law.
As has been mentioned already, there are an awful lot of very influential folks in HK and on the Mainland who want J* crushed. These are folks over whom CX have influence, directly and indirectly. Joyce, the imbecile that he is, has already put plenty of noses out of joint with his charade, so J*'s position will not get any easier.
There's a reason they've already delayed J* by a year, and it has nothing to do with competition.
Incidentally;
How long did Oasis last? Have HKA managed to scrape together enough cash to clean their aircraft and pay their HAECO bills?
