Steve' Ill answer the question for you to save the Senate wasting time.
'Let me just say this. All the really great staff that we value at Qantas are 100% behind everything management do to turn this great iconic brand around. We are not going to back away from the really hard decisions that have to be made and can I also add that we now have the best uniforms in the world to make the difference. If you are in the business or understand it at all, then I know that you will understand what a great step forward that is. Combined with our world leading (insert survey brand here) score and our new fleet renewal program we are on track to make this business the envy of the world. I'm sorry I'm being so brief but what with Aunt Maud with her ingrowing toenail and my laryngitis I'll have to keep it shorter that I would really like. I hope you understand where I am coming from and thank you so much for your questions, as I do value the time it takes out of your day to hear from the horses mouth about the issues this business faces in really difficult circumstances. I can only assure you all that we are absolutely doing our best, and believe me, all the staff are completely behind the management team and the incredibly difficult tasks they are expected to perform...

Aeromed: Give Steve a break. I doubt he has had a decent nights sleep in the last 6 months. He will get the transcript, it will be available - he didn't need to be there in person. IMHO.
