AirAsia interested in domestic ops.
Unfortunately Mr Azran from Malaysia is thinking of sending his airline down under as per this article AirAsia evaluating domestic Australian operation
If this ever happens, well then Jetstar NZ might look pretty attractive for most.
Yeah, with F/O's on 50k alongside Captains on 90k

An AirAsia operation in Australian would easily have a lower cost base than Tiger and could offer cheaper fares consistently, says Azran.
And before your CEO get's all excited you might want to point out to him that Asian Airlines pay for the ENTIRE cost of training pilots.
If any Airline CEO in this country brings up the issue of Asian wages, this fact needs to be brought to theirs and the media's attention.

Will they have to comply with the Air Pilots Award 2010 for domestic ops? This fly in/ Fly out third world workforce concept will be of interest beyond aviation. It could make the outcome of the AIPA/Jetconnect case quite important.
Didn't Indonesias Lion Air have the same idea a while back ? 
Air Asia operate out of Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, all have a far lower cost base than Australia. Assuming they employ Australians their labour costs
would be similar to Tiger/Jetstar. Back office stuff could be done from KL, but JQ are outsourcing to Manila, and Tiger to Singapore so little advantage. Yet another three airline battle.
Extensive international network out of KL so possibly BNE, SYD, CNS could be served with the A330 and DRW with the A320.
Absolutely gorgeous flight attendents, worth flying on just for them.
