if this report is true - the conservative govt will be a one term govt. I have lived, voted and espoused free market principles all of my life and this reported decision, if true, does not reflect those of a conservative govt. I feel for Qantas, it's staff, the history and the brand, but the CEO's (yes the real one!!!) preoccupation with JQ has been self-inflicted and therefore the consequences need to follow those poor decisions.
