Disgusting to the extreme - Free up the market until we need to be bailed out. The Corporate mantra of the day… Help us give out bonuses to the Exec’s while shipping jobs OS. How very Wall St of Pacific Brands to do this to us.
No worries, just pay us back all the cash we gave you to keep the jobs in Australia - out of your salaries of course.

I think the longer this crisis goes on, and the deeper it gets-and it’s likely to get a lot worse, more and more people will start to question capitalism and it’s contradictions. I guess the task for those of us on the left, is to get across to people that while the focus is on companies like Pacific Brands right now, and rightly so, that what this actually is is a demonstration of how capitalism works on a daily basis, not something new.

These are really great podcasts. The mass media would never present the true state of affairs so clearly. The present crisis shows how wrong Thatcher’s let business run business mantra was! Keep up the great work guys
