The carbon tax is a factor, its a factor with just about every manufacturing company that has left our shores to set up, where they can afford the wages and the power bills. And Who TF thought that running a carbon tax out of Parliament House Canberra was going to save the freckin world, anyway. Whilst the trains run out of the Hunter Valley packed with black coal to send to China where it is almost impossible to see, unless a howling gale is around. Talk about having a freckin bucket with a hole in it, that is what this carbon tax is. It just adds to QF's woes, and why would they spend a fortune changing uniforms for the cabin crew, nothing wrong with the last one, do they actually employ bean counters there, and if so, WTF do they do? All we have now is a bunch of QF employees more frightened than ever, every bodies shoulder is vulnerable, no one is safe, only the union leaders, and a few of the management, and those two knobs ,Shorten and Albernese have only added to it. What a terrible day for all concerned, hopefully the dust will settle and some common sense applied. No down tools, thanks Sheldon, if you do Joyce will pull the plug, and it will not be for two days. He is counting on you doing it.
