I'm sure most , if not all of you would've heard about this, it was the top story yesterday.
People are criticizing the Government for not dipping in and saving them. Essentially what it means is that Qantas will be unmatched with competition in our great southern land, and knowing them, fees will be through the roof.
Firstly, the virus has already cost this government billions, and they simply do not have an unlimited bucket of money... they have a budget that they need to stick to.
Secondly, ScoMo said that he will not be giving $1,000,000,000 to save a company that is 90% owned by foreigners... and that's a damn good point. VA is owned by other airlines, including Eithad, Singapore, and 2 Chinese airlines.
I respect and somewhat admire Richard Branson, he's the boss that a lot of people would dream to work for, (and I loathe Alan Joyce) but this is not something the Australian tax-payers should bear the brunt of. I stand with ScoMo on this one.
