macquarie bank is the last entity to look for charity.

It is not in their corporate mission.

When was the last time you heard macquarie donated to any cancer research, or any children's hospital or any animals shelter?

Well if they did any charity, it's because they need the tax deductions.

Nothing else. They have no passion for the community, it's a me me me culture.

Gawd forbid if anything happens to them, not one person will leap up with empathy for this greedy mob.

Macquarie is a bussiness and has no obligation to donate to anything. As long as none of us has any need of the services that are not supported by them, why should we care?

though it is not an obligation, many successful companies such as Microsoft, Caltex all donate to charities because it is the right thing to do when you have made so much from the people you rip off, sometimes you need to give some back to the very community that had made you successful.

More so for a company like macquarie who apparently profit from others misery such as rushing through the airport to drop off loved ones without the time even to hug and kiss

A company creates synergy. The collective actions of the group is worth more than the individual parts...

Where we sit in 2009 is a direct result of the investment of our forebears in public assets, investment in those less fortunate and a view that the future will be better for the investment and we can leave more for our forebears than we received. Mac bank is a modern business, max profit, no requirement for a social conscience...The problem with that is that a company is made of many individual parts. Those parts have spouses, children et al.

In the present generation the paradigm is skewed. Take as much as you can get for as long as you can get, spending as little as you need.

For the students of a corporation Mac Bank(the donut punchers) merely reflect the desires of the majority at large..They didn't steer the paradigm, merely reflected it...

As I am prone to saying..If you don't leave it better for the generation that follows..What the F*&k is the point of being here..???
That is no different at QF as applies to the rest of our "community"

A company exists as a result of the society...If the company doesnt add to the social cohesion then they arent part of the solution. I know two senior people who worked for Mac Bank. well remunerated but felt the company had nothing. No soul, no conscience. One is a legal aid laywer earning 70% less but 150% happier....

Macbank are *****. I dealt with them on some quite complex deals and they shafted me every way they could.

Their business model is simple. Get inside information and use it. They have no scruples, no morals. There is nothing they won't stoop to doing. By way of comparison, I have dealt with the toughest of the tough in the Jewish community, and I far prefer dealing with them than the snakes at Macbank.

Their employment model is to hire people who have a business idea about something that is not currently known. The candidates may be public servants, former politicians, or staff from some company. Macbank first tries to steal that special knowledge, and if it can't, they hire the person. Then they craft a fund around the business opportunity, sell it to investment schmucks, and rake off fees.

My guess is that Macbank is working very hard to get control of Sydney's ferry service when it's privatised, and would do the same to trains and NSW electricity if possible.

As for them lowering airport charges, Ho ho! Ha ha! Now watch them perform the classic switcheroo if AJ pursues this line.... they will tell AJ to blame the Government for selling the airport to them.
