The Australian Govt gave Qantas $2.7 billion, with not $1 paid back. It could do something to sustain #Bonza.
(Perhaps an invitation-only Bonza Chairman's Lounge for politicians would help facilitate the process?)

Bonza Bummer. We are the losers. Australia is a big island with one monopoly airline - and a comfy Transport Minister not keen to change that?

Home again home again jiggety-jig
Supermarket supermarket you're ripping me off
Home again home again Fin Review snout in the trough
Supermarket supermarket only 2 set the price
Home again home again I pay thrice"

Can anyone own "news"?
News Corp, Nine Media, 7West etc profit from using our information, our social media, our "news" - and do not pay us. They are owned by billionaires.
Google, Meta, X are in the same business but better at it?

But it's never the wealthy who pay more? Is it? Ever?
It's always the middle-income earners who sacrificed money into #Superannuation instead of snorting it up their nose or buying a $19 potato cake.

Infuriating and disappointing, this letter in The Age newspaper 9/3/2024. This is either stupid, deceitful, or both. People are dying.

Ha! Oh, the irony - inclusive of the factual errors, these #AI imitations are arguably better than the real thing. 😄

"it’s a slippery slope toward mediocrity"
