The problem is not debt guarantee or the QSA. It is the fact they Australia trade bilaterals like confetti and the International Air Services Agreements(ASA) were intended to balance out different cost regimes in the world and our rights into and out of Australia are the property of the Australian Government and the Australian people and not Qantas and/or Virgin. What everyone should be looking at is stopping any expansion of rights into Australia and exploring anti-dumping legislation. The European Union and Canada are excellent examples of what needs to be done. Australia is used to show other countries how NOT to liberalise these ASAs. I agree we(Aussies) are dumb and the Liberal Party circus needs to have the tents pegs pulled out, they are too beholdened to big business. The Qatars and Emirates are the slave traders of this century.
