Qantas says strict foreign ownership rules are making it hard to compete with Virgin and there are a number of ways the Government could help it.
There is a logic disconnect here. How does Alan believe that having overseas owners injecting some cash will help it compete? Spoken by a mathematician not someone who understands how to run an airline. Changing the nationality of the company owners will not affect how Alan chooses to run it.
The way I see it is that this is all about shaming the feds into lifting or removing parts of QSA so that Dixon and the usual suspects can buy the lot and sell off assets. GM Holden just helped Alan in that cause.
