QF94, yeah true, those were US companies, and some of the Australian ones did spring to mind.

However the other point I wanted to get across was that the US actually imprison their wayward corporate executives, sometimes for a very long time. At best, we give ours a slap on the wrist and they move on. Australian investigation, enforcement and punishment of corporate malfeasance is an international joke, and everybody knows it. :rolleyes:

Ron Adler of HIH copped a gaol term, albeit a token one. Maybe AJ and LC should share a cell together. We can only hope!

When you've been bending people over all those years and giving them the pineapple, karma brings a leprechaun to return the favour.

Yeah, you know I've often wondered if the Alan Joyce who is so certain of where every dollar of his Qantas Group money goes that he can categorically state there are no cost transfers from Jetstar to Mainline, is the same Alan Joyce who was absolutely bewildered and had no idea at all that Qantas was involved in a huge international cargo price-fixing cartel at an upper-management level.

Mach082,

I don't know where you get that the employees have been bending the management over for years. For years we have been bent over for a measely 3-4%pa, introducing operational cost-cutting measures and took a payment freeze to help out the company. And this is the favour you say we are being repaid?

We really screwed the company to a $500million profit this year didn't we? We really stopped the company from being one of the most profitable airlines in the world for the last 10 years or so haven't we. We really screwed Dixon and Joyce from getting their pay rises and bonuses for a share price that has been in a spiral dive.

Either you live in lala land or have a major gripe against those of us in QANTAS because we get what you could never achieve, and you would like to see the lot of us get screwed over.

I hope you enjoy your Irish pineapples.

Mate bit slow to read the punchline?

I'll explain it to you very slowly, I'll include pictures if you need it, although gay porn is not my thing!

LC has been bending staff over for years (i.e sticking pineapples in their behind) HIS karma is sharing a cell with a leprechaun who enjoys this recreationally :ok:

My apologies for being a bit too quick to bite. I interpreted that Joyce was our payback for supposedly screwing the company over.
