Day Eight Hundred and Sixty Nine

Saturday

A relaxed day at home and then the interesting news Qantas has grounded it's entire operation. There has been a long running dispute here between Qantas management and 3 of the 15 unions representing Qantas staff. There has been ongoing one day stoppages, 1 hour strikes etc and both sides not wanting to get to a resolution. There was a hostile AGM on Friday and then today the Irish boss Alan Joyce pulled the plug on all flights to try and get a resolution. A big par tom me says good on him, the unions are being unreasonable in their demands and he should show them who is boss. It's going to be interesting to see how it pans out.

In the evening we went for dinner at the Powerhouse followed by going to see 'the Idea of North' an A Cappella group, they were fantastic. Sample are here if you click on Album pictures
