Qantas? Well well well!

Qantas is to buy a million tonnes of carbon credits from RM WIlliams Agricultural holdings.


Qantas to buy conservation zone carbon credits - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)


..And the owner of RM Williams is ....Ken Cowley.

RM Williams forms a partnership with Primary Holdings International, called RMWAH | Fiona Lake Australian Photographs

Now wasn't he a former Qantas person?

Seems he might be if it is the same person.

Qantas New Zealand takes off - Airlines - NZ Herald News

Would there be any conflict of interest there? I don't think so.

Well there's another piece of history, Qantas New Zealand, another failed Qantas enterprise (franchise), not that same beast as Jet Connect, the present Qantas presence in NZ.

Sorry for the slight thread drift.

The Ansett Annual Report for 1996 shows Kenneth Edward Cowley was appointed a Director in 1985. In 1992 he was appointed Executive Chairman.

I will be only too happy to be buying carbon credits when I fly QANTAS. I always thought QANTAS was an airline not a company set up to save the planet maybe shipping might be more in Qantas's field of expertise.

Cowley was the architect, financier and puppetmaster(of that dope Dodrell) of the Ansett NZ debacle in 1999.

Enough said.

Sunfish,
Nice work. However I am sure that all of this is coincidence. Aviation is the last place you would find collusion, greed, nepotism and shonky fly-in Managers who want to reap millions in just a few short years and leave behind a rotting carcass! Nope, not aviation!
