Middle class Aussie battlers unite!

No, we are all poor Aussie battlers who get shafted by large corporates every day and particularly wrt QFF. Ray should do stories on us. I can see it now: (Subtext in brackets)

"Simple Australian folk trying to save enough QFF points to take the family to Hawaii get another kick in the pants. People working hard to pay all their bills by credit cards now have the value of their purchases summarily halved (yes, before you all start complaining, we all know the correct reasons for this- but Aussie battlers don't do they?);
they may see a $49 fare but the airline either won't serve them a decent meal (yes, what do you expect for $49);
hardworking Aussies traving accross the world, selling for this great country, get told told that your business is only worth half as much (our recent changes wrt upgrade points/credits)"

OK so I have worked hard, studied, always paid my bills, worked 60 hrs a week, get sent to the States/Europe for work (strictly work, mind you, its only recently that I have dared ask for a less than direct routing and besides a DONE4 is the cheap option for them), when I catch the shuttle down to Melbourne (don't ask questions when the boss books me on the el-cheapo fare), so why can't Ray or even Naomi humour me for once!

Middle class Aussie battlers unite!
See you in the QP one day
