Good work Fingertips.
Email below that I sent today to Olivia Wirth, Group Executive Brand, Marketing and Corporate Affairs, Qantas Airways Limited.
olivawirth@qantas.com.au
Hi Olivia,
Further to your response on 9/11/17 to my letter to Alan Joyce about taking a public stance the shocking culling of the Western Force by the ARU:
The court cases you hid behind are long over and a Senate Inquiry has exposed to the world the ARU skullduggery involved.

I have still not seen a word from Alan Joyce or Qantas.
I have recently booked an overseas trip for myself and three members of my family. We will not be flying on Qantas,
I have seen other Force supporters on twf.com.au and Facebook reporting similar actions.

I just noticed her email to me is actually from oliviawirth@qantas.com.au but the bit I cut and paste above comes directly from her own signature in that email and did not have the i in Olivia
What did she send you previously?

Thank you for your note to Alan. We appreciate your support.
And thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about the ARU’s decisions regarding the Super Rugby and Western Force.
As a major partner of the ARU, we are proud to carry the Qantas Wallabies as well as Men’s and Women’s Rugby 7s teams as the compete around the world. The passion that so many people have for rugby union in Australia and globally is one of the reasons we have had such a long association with the ARU and the national teams. We are hopeful that the current situation can be resolved quickly so everyone can return to enjoying the game and supporting their team, but while there are ongoing legal challenges we do not believe it is appropriate for us to comment on the decisions.
I appreciate your passion for the game. Thank you again for taking the time to contact Qantas.
Regards,
Olivia Wirth
What a pathetic and patronising response from Olive. Basically says we don't care about anything except our ARU buddies and the national teams and once all the fuss from the peasants out west dies down we'll carry on as if nothing has happened, so screw you all.
All the more reason for us to say 'screw you' back!
Proudly Western Australian; Proudly supporting Western Australian rugby

What to do? Wander about wearing my new "Bring Back the Force" tshirt
"12 Years a Supporter" starring the #SeaOfBlue
On the topic of rugby in 2018, does anyone have an idea of what the new and renewal membership numbers in 2018 are for the 4 remaining SR franchises?
Or are those numbers State secrets, in the way that the attendance numbers at Rebels' home games became a State secret in the latter part of 2017.
Went to scorchers last night. Pity that is finishing so soon it would have tidied me over for Sports
Generally speaking you aren’t learning much if your lips are moving!!!
Truth is, if we turn our backs on Super Rugby and Rugby Union tests, then there's a lot of sporting events besides Rugby which we can spend our money on and feel that we have got good value.
Just like there are
- other airlines besides QANTAS (sponsor of the ARU/RA)
- other suppliers of sporting merchandises beside ASICS (sponsor of the ARU/RA)
- other business consultants besides Accenture (sponsor of the ARU/RA)
- other suppliers of financial services besides HSBC (sponsor of the ARU/RA)
- other makers of wines besides Taylors of Clare Valley (sponsor of the ARU/RA)
- other mens' toiletries besides those made by Men+Care (sponsor of the ARU/RA)
- other health and sports supplements besides those from Swisse (sponsor of the ARU/RA)
- other tyres besides those manufactured and sold by Falken (sponsor of the ARU/RA)
- other providers of sports betting besides bet365 (sponsor of the ARU/RA)
- other electrolytes besides those from SOS (sponsor of the ARU/RA)

- other clothing besides that supplied by Sportscraft (sponsor of the AU/RA)
- other suppliers of sporting equipment besides Gilbert (sponsor of the ARU/RA)
- other suppliers of sports medical products besides Victor (sponsor of the ARU/RA)
