Alan Joyce
Sky News AM Agenda 28.2.14
"Now there's talk about the Qantas Sales Act being changed and that will certainly fix the issue in the medium to long term. As long at the Firb (Foreign Investment Review Board) issues around potentially SOE's (state owned enterprises) investing in Qantas is also addressed"
This is the first I've heard of Joyce actually saying why he wants the QF Sales Act amended. To the lay person it may have easily been missed with Alan's use of the terms FIRB & SOE's.
Is this Alan's grand plan?
Complain about an un level playing field brought about State Owned Enterprises.
Mismanage the Qantas business to put it in precarious financial position.
Pressure the Australian Government to amend the QF Sales Act, to allow a foreign takeover by the very entities he's complaining about.
BTW. Interesting choice of location for the live interview. AJ standing in front of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Last time I recall Alan conducting an interview in front of the bridge was in 2011 when Red Q was being touted. Alan was telling us "Our future's in Asia".
