HF, I'll let you in on a secret, the ticket to prosperity these days is a trade, not a University education.
I see plenty of happy people - why they even elected Little Johnny Howard again - with an increased majority!

It is timely to remind you that air travel for most is still considered a luxury because of the time involved for an overseas trip.You sir are an elitist who carps on about hubbing.Ever tried to cross the States from LAX to JFK direct?Its a bloody milkrun no matter who you travel with.
John Howards coalition was voted in by 46% of the electorate...not a majority.
Too bad if someone`s son/daughter doesn`t want to be a tradesperson but rather have a profession.They are denied Choice due to lack of funds.What a bourgeois attitude>Marie Antoinette was guillotined for having similar disregard.Too bad if someone`s progeny want to work for Qantas.They will have to migrate.
Here`s a reality check:
1.The current account deficit is rising to record levels
2.Domestic inventory levels are rising
3.Consumer demand is tapering
4.Debt levels are at an alltime high
5.Savings are at an all time low
6.The stockmarket is fully valued.
7.The real estate market is still overvalued.
There is a correction on the way.The RBA is terrified of what a further rate rise will do under these circumstances.Mortagee defaults,distressed sale of real estate,bankruptcies will increase.
Still you want to export jobs.
Liquidate..cash is king when it all hits the fan.Remember `87...they said it wouldn`t happen then.The pundits were wrong then and they will be wrong again.
Who suffers?Always always the little guy with a mortgage two kids and a wife who is trying to participate in his country`s prosperity.
Smug comments from you and your ilk expose you for what you are!!
As for your appendage..you must have bloody small hands

“Air travel for most is still considered a luxury”.....
Nah... used to be but not any more... London and back for three weeks wages..
The rest of the “reality check” is superficial. Don’t forget number 8
8)..... some employees are paid too much for their skill level

Trite response called for. No point in trying to educate an economic illiterate.
For the record, opening up QF to competition would actually be beneficial to all the indicators you mentioned
1. Current account deficit reduced by additional tourism, and further reduced by Qf not buying more aircraft. Other people can provide the capital necessary for new aircraft.
2. Domestic inventory levels reduced by increased tourism driven consumption.
3. Consumer demand increased by tourism
4. Debt levels reduced by inflow of foriegn income from tourism
5., 6. and 7, the same.

Education
B.Comm.LLB(Hons) UNSW.(My Degree)
Prof.Neil Runcie Head of Economics Dept(UNSW)in the mid 70`s always said it would be a waste of time attempting to educate phillistines in the vagaries of macro economic theory.You sir are one such phillistine.Tourists do not buy white goods,furniture,cars etc.to take home.To have the effects you suggest tourism would have to increase by at 30%.We do not have the necessary infrastructure in place to accommodate such an increase.Allowing SQ to fly the Pacific is cherry picking ..pure and simple.The positive effect on OUR economy would be negligible.It would however have a beneficial effect on the now struggling Singapore economy.
You sir, would still have to HUB through Sydney regardless.
SQ is not a panacea for your problems.
A tourist will assist you in paying off your credit card debt and mortgage?Where does that tourist live?A lot of Australians would love to meet him/her.
The debt I referred to is personal/household debt...likewise savings.
