VictorYong36 its not funny were struggling here as baggage handlers for qantas our pay has dropped and we are only entitled 25 hours a week and have to sometimes work only 5 hour shifts, try living in Sydney with just over $1000 a fortnight and having to work weekends
"after the takeover... you're over" LMFAo... absolutely hilarious been watching this vid since end of 2007 and it still never fails to make me laugh...
The QANTAS lyrics actually have "Rome" instead of "Rio". I believe that's because QANTAS flies to Rome and not Rio (or at least that's how it was when this ad was released circa late 1990s).
Yes, but outsourcing ISN'T thinking long term, thinking long term is about what happens in the next 30 years, not the next 5-10, Western companies appoint a CEO for a couple of years( sometimes even just one year), get him to make a massive amount of profit by any means necessary (ie, outsourcing) and then he leaves with lots of benefits, leaving the company's actual FUTURE in doubt
I'm pretty sure it's in Chaser's War because I haven't watched CNNNN yet I've still seen this. keep searching ull find lots of wonderful things on the way :P (chasers rock! woo!)
I dont understand why people take everything they say with so much offence, sure they made fun of sick kids but it truely wasent that bad. If it wasent for everyone taking it way to seriously they would still be making some funny stuff. They really are amazing. Not to mention that they do bring attention to news stories that people otherwise wouldnt know about.
@chrispypancake but it is exactly a business mate. Numbers in financial report is not good shareholders not happy, even the kangaroo cannot survive. Only depends on Australia market, Qantas cannot survive. This is real world.
Nah, i mean Howard wasn't using it effectively, he was just riding the mining boom wave, very few things that he did contributed massively to the economic boom like Keating's policies did, Rudd, i personally think he's doing well, but we'll have to wait for hindsight
@lukesteele1 Whenever I get a call from Optus spruiking 'services' I tell them I refuse to do business with any country that hangs Australians. Remember Nguyen Tuong Van a young man hung in Singapore in 2005?? Likewise I never knowingly buy anything made in Malaysia. :(
Man, it's hard to believe this is ten years old already.
Pretty impressive how well it's held up.
This aged too well
"All the Qantas workers fearful of their jobs, please head to the Centrelink lines" BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. This is really happening

This is so good, you would think its British Comedy!! But its 51% Australian!!

Dude, it only took 7 years for this to pretty much happen....
"after the takeover... you're over" LMFAo... absolutely hilarious

i had to sing the real version in year 3, and watching this made me feel so much better
2019 still 51% home

VictorYong36

@AgentTasmania
English is not my first language and I appreciate that you provided the meaning of Qantas. Thanks!! :)
Haha this spoof is so funny. The lyrics are pretty clever.

HELL YES. YOU my friend, have the right attitude.
LEGENDARY PSYCHICS!
I'm pretty sure it's in Chaser's War because I haven't watched CNNNN yet I've still seen this. keep searching ull find lots of wonderful things on the way :P (chasers rock! woo!)

'51% home' lol
and just look what the news media and current affairs shows have gotten away with since they went off air.
lol "i still call Auz 51% home!"
Craig was born in Adelaide buddy
they do make a good point, even if qantas is 51% australian.........
CLC in Australia!
Yes :)
@chrispypancake but it is exactly a business mate. Numbers in financial report is not good shareholders not happy, even the kangaroo cannot survive. Only depends on Australia market, Qantas cannot survive. This is real world.
the qantas workers union strike song
I wonder what the board and CEO motives are if they weren't paid...
I believe it whats sell outs the Red Roo is
Ouch! And FUNNY
Nah, i mean Howard wasn't using it effectively, he was just riding the mining boom wave, very few things that he did contributed massively to the economic boom like Keating's policies did, Rudd, i personally think he's doing well, but we'll have to wait for hindsight
lol now very fitting!
true
What a bloody ripper !! How true is it? You bet.
an australian is someone who posseses australian citizenship, thats the defining point
with everything outsourced will it be called Far-Q?
Funny... oh yes.... though the image of Hong Kong to the line of ¨Mandarin¨... touch sloppy boys... Hong Kong speaks Cantonise...
cause Australia is the best country on earth.. no competition
its not dirty, the service isnt bad, and the leg roo is only shit if ur in economy. but i do agree with u when u say the fod is shit
lol wateva! parents are misleading especially when they hit 40 onwards! i laughed when i read in the paper today.. was kinda like whoops
@19ididyourmom Quantas sacked a lot of workers and outsourced a lot of jobs such as the mechanical and aircraft maintanence.
What's this original song called?
woo! 2009 :D
51% home! lol
51% home! hahaha clever
Coffee, tea or miso?
@BringPattyTheHorizon They're all Aussie as well...
If they're so great then answer me this. Why have they been having heaps of problems recently?
LMFAO !!!! go Chaser XD
Truth
Sad how true this turned out to be.
Written, produced and directed by Alan Joyce. Paid for by underpaid QANTAS baggage handlers. Ain't it the truth!!
@SSCentralVids
It is true they even joked about Julia guillard back stabbing Kevin Rudd XD
Who would have though 4 years ago how close to the truth this was?
@CPSEmiliSkoolCaptain
I guess you haven't seen John Stewart or Stephen Colbert?
why is being australian a compliment? rofl
Just as well I like the taste of snake meat, understands Mandarine and likes Kung Fu!
@jeffbuckleyxsempre: A - ****ing - men, you said it all mate
what are you talking about LOL its way more than 51% Australian now the takeover bid failed...!
@lukesteele1 Whenever I get a call from Optus spruiking 'services' I tell them I refuse to do business with any country that hangs Australians. Remember Nguyen Tuong Van a young man hung in Singapore in 2005?? Likewise I never knowingly buy anything made in Malaysia. :(
@LookatthatSH1T BAHAHAHAHA!
How old r the chasers??
@BringPattyTheHorizon its a good thing no body feels that way..
@Joinedjustforthis they didn't even make fun of the kids, only the celebrities who join charities for their own self serving purposes and good press.
hahaha so true right now
