I sincerely hope '5000 jobs' was not chosen simply as a big enough round number to try to force the Govt into giving a spoilt little brat what he wanted (more cash to boast about his brilliance).
'5000' concerns me because it appears unplanned, meets no strategic ideal and seems to be at best a back of envelope calculation.
Please let nothing like that be the truth.
V-jet,
It appears that this number was a suitable number that management came up with to shock the government into a debt guarantee. Their bluff has been called and they(management) have lost.
This is how low this little prick is that he would sacrifice and stress thousands of Australian jobs and families to try to win his own personal game of chess.
Today, to now state all things are healthy, well do I need to state the obvious?
Joyce is finished.
