I have followed the comments with great interest and although I have concern re political involvement what I found of really surprising was the apparent inability of both the NZ and Aust Govts to work together to minimise the flow on impacts. Hindsight not withstanding the consequences of putting Ansett down were evident some time back both in terms of jobs and real cost to both countries over and above any initial bailout, it was a great opportunity for the both Govts to be proactive and to be seen to show some real leadership in very difficult times. 

There are no excuses for any of the Directors involved nor comfort for staff or shareholders from the current talk feast and PR weasel talk that is going on from both sides of the ditch. It’s the same as waiting for the US markets to open tonite hoping we don’t panic and finish the job the terrorists started. There almost seems to be a determination to stuff it up. Maybe its something in the water!
