Freeport was done when they were told to bend or break. They bent and they were still broken. Good thinking there

Dawes says...

It all depends whats in the deal that was signed with these entities. If there is nothing in it that says they must have the airport working etc then there is nothing the Government can do. Hopefully Government will be smart (unlikely) and at least say give it to us for free and we will then fix it up, and if you don't we will just build a new one on crown land. As you can be sure we will end up buying it for $X million and then putting in the other $20-40 million to rebuild which will end up being more then just building a completely new one)

All good i am sure, but surely it is still better to not pay and then wait for the next amnesty to consider paying with no penalties. Or just become connected then you won't have to pay.

Most businesses will have a use it or lose it policy. This is what any normal company would do. If a persons job can't be done by someone else while they are on vacation then there is something wrong with that business.

Of course it hit a delay, nothing done in this country is done on time. Just added waste and time on a report that Government already knows it won't act on. They will be able to file it away in the draw with all the other reports they have been given to make this country better but choose not to listen to as they can't seem to work out how to make it benefit them even more.

Does this mean they will actually do their jobs and we can expect to be served in a reasonable time frame. I wish all unions went on work to rule, as then a lot of things might work over here.

Umm its not gay people causing families to break up. Its the culture we have of sweethearting. But the Christian Council doesn't seem to care about that and nor do most people over here.

On Gay, straight - just why does it matter?
