You have nothing to lose but your jobs...In other news...
are all Aussies militant wankers, or is it just the assholes who work (worked) for Ansett Australia? What do you folks think- is it any accident that you always find the hardcore lefties in companies and industries about to go belly-up? Yelling about the (ahem) rights of the decent working Australian- as if they'd give a shit if their own jobs weren't on the line. The expression "no such thing as an athiest in a foxhole" springs to mind.
In typical socialist "never let the facts stand in the way of a good political tirade" fashion, they're screaming on like Air NZ deliberately ran Ansett into the ground. Riiight... Nice way of avoiding The Awful Truth: Ansett had been losing money hand over fist for a long time (whose fault is that, comrades?). That's how Air NZ was able to step in. They bought it cheap, hoping to turn it around. Ansett was a dead dog and it went under anyway- but not before sucking 1.5 Billion dollars out of Air NZ and almost forcing it into receivership. Reminds me of those stories of lifeguards arriving on the scene, trying to rescue a drowning swimmer and almost getting dragged under by the poor bastard's death throes. The only mistake Air NZ made was getting involved in the first place.
Fuck, I hate lefties.
