Into debt and taxpayer will bail-out later.
I doubt you pay taxes anyway with such an ill informed comment.
Well Matt Y, that has to be the best reply to an idiotic comment that I have read. Fantastic 10/10.
Why do these people comment on things they know nothing of?
Fletchers obviously need the money, to prop up there failing investments; especially the recent large purchase in Australia.
