Tiger airlines introduction has inescapably threatened Jetstar's future revenue, so much so that Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce said that "Jetstar was
seeing that, so to be competitive at the leisure end we believed Jetstar needed to have direct Melbourne Tullamarine to Sydney services complementing
its Avalon operations, assuring that profitable market stays with the group and it's not lost to our low–cost competitorsВґ (Creedy 2009).
Threat of New Entry
Low to Moderate
A new entrant means competitor undermining the profits (Aarons, Waalewijn, 1999, pg4) of Jetstar, which is an established business. Therefore, threat
in the future for Jetstar is determined by present barriers to entry. The biggest factor that prevents a newcomer entry in this industry is the cost of entry.
The airline industry is one of the most expensive industries, due to the cost of buying and leasing aircrafts, safety and security measures, customer
service and manpower (http://www.investopedia.com/features/industryhandbook/airline.asp, March 25, 2011). Other factors include high capital cost
and government restrictions. Deregulation of the Australian Domestic airline market and realisation of Virgin Blue taking over the Domestic Market

DISCUSSION
HISTORICAL FIRE REGIME
LIGHTNING
Before Aboriginal and European settlement, lightning was the primary natural source of fire, especially in tropical parts of Australia (Kohen, 1996).
These lightning–caused bushfires have drastically shaped the landscape and its vegetation. Plants have developed different adaptations to tolerate these
fires and in turn contributed to the natural diversity in the area. The Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans) trees growing in forests east of Melbourne
are great examples of a tree species adapted to bushfires. These trees are usually killed by intense fire but their seeds germinate fast in the ash bed left
behind by the fire (Museum Victoria, n.d.).
The city of Melbourne historically had a mix of grass, scrub, and trees in its landscape due to its relatively flat terrain and its low elevation. Like the
rest of the state of Victoria, lightning has played an important role in shaping ecosystems and affecting different vegetation types.
ABORIGINAL FIRES
Fire events have increased ever since the Aboriginals have occupied the landscape about 40,000 years ago (Lindenmayer & Burgman, 2005). They used
fire to their advantage and helped change the landscape in addition to lightning.

Legal And Political System Of Australia
Legal and Political System Australia's government design was taken from the British Westminster system after those who originally colonized
Australia. A functional, western style democracy, there are a number of minor political parties operating in Australia but the country's federal politics is

Australia's main trading partners are China, Japan, the United States, Republic of Korea and Singapore. Nearly half of Australia's trade activity in
terms of imports and exports are with these 5 countries alone. Particularly with the recent growth of the Chinese economy, Australia's chief trading
partner, the country has seen growth in its exports. However very recently the growth of the Chinese economy has been slowing which is a risk to
Australian exports. 72% of Australia's two–way trade is within the APEC countries. Like the G20, this trade relationship is quite significant. Australia's
single top import is personal travel services, however overall most of what Australia imports is petroleum products and motor vehicles. It's appetite
for refined petroleum increased by 12% over the past 5 years. Australia's top exports are its natural resources, iron ores, coal and natural gas.
(Australian Government: Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, 2014) Since 2012, Australia has maintained a mostly negative trade balance,
perhaps amid uncertainty of its currency against the US dollar, but more likely is its economic growth is causing it to import more and more petroleum
products which it's exports of its own natural resources is not able to match. Australia and Canada have similar economic policies that govern their

Accompanied by record high fuel prices, maintenance and labor costs, Australia's domestic airlines face a turning point in the industry's history.
All of Australia's top 10 most competitive routes increased in the year ending in 2014 with an average increase of 6.17% of total passengers
carried. With such a high growth of travelling passengers in the top 10 city pairs over a single year demand, can definitely be ruled out as the reason
of the loss to break 20 years of Industry profit. The market for domestic airfares have been changed significantly in the past as Virgin Blue introduced
their new business class ticket and removal of their full economy fares, this resulted in the full economy index rising substantially.
In 2011, as Virgin Australia introduced their new flexi fares that were substantially lower priced than their previous fare. This disrupted the market as
Qantas as a competitor quickly responded by dropping their Flexi Saver fares on the same routes. This drop in fares by both major competitors
resulted in a detrimental drop in the Restricted Economy index, as seen in figure 1. This drop also directly resulted in both airlines generating less a

The new contractors were very experienced at working with concrete, but lacked the knowledge and experience with working with steel. Because of
this, John Holland only took on the work on the basis of a labour management contract, which puts them in charge of the labour, but all the
engineering decisions were still up to World Service & Constructions. This lead to confusion and lack of communication between the parties working
on the construction of the bridge. Four months prior to the collapse, a similar design of bridge, also designed by Freeman Fox & Partners, collapsed
in Milford Haven, Wales, killing four workers. Understandably, there was a lot of industrial unrest on the construction site of the Westgate Bridge,
although workers had been assured by Freeman Fox & Partners that the design of the Westgate was perfectly safe, but was not supported by any
relevant or sufficient calculations. IV.THE COLLAPSE During the construction, two half–spans being assembled 50 meters above ground level had a
misalignment of 4.5 inches or 114mm in camber. It was suggested by John Holland & Constructions to use a kentledge to weigh down the higher

Qantas Groups' performance over the 2007 to 2011 period has been relatively poor mainly as a result of the global financial crisis adversely affecting

The airports in major cities around the world are also operated on a monopoly basis and therefore are able to charge airlines high fees. The above
examples have showed that the bargaining power of supplies for the airline industry is considerably large and often play an important role in the
operations and level of profitability amongst the airlines.
Rivalry among the Existing Players: The level of competition between the airlines is very high. One reason for this is the increase in popularity of
low–cost airlines, who employ innovative business models to differentiate themselves and drive the profitability of their businesses. Another reason is
attributable to the nature of operation of the airlines – the marginal cost of having extra passengers on a scheduled flight is close to zero, which implies
that airlines are capable of varying the price of air tickets from time to time, or even engaging in price wars with their rivals. For instance, the recently
banned operation of Tiger Airways has created opportunity for two other major domestic airlines in Australia, Jetstar and Virgin Blue, to increase prices
in order to take advantage of the less competitive environment and to increase their market shares.

altered the level of production and consumption in the manufacturing sector in the late 1980's and 1990's. The textile, footwear, clothing and motor
vehicle industries were dramatically affected by these reforms and many jobs were lost. The Australian Government participated in the reduction of
trade barriers as part of the General Agreement on Tariffs & Trade (GATT). As a result there have been pressures on the above mentioned industries that
were previously protected. They have effectively become, or are becoming, casualties of what is termed 'a race to the bottom' between national

Transportation Advantages And Disadvantages
The type of transport that an individual uses daily not only affect themselves, but also the wider community. There are many factors that are likely to
affect how an individual makes decisions. Some decisions are made rationally, others are not. In the past decade, both cities of Greater Melbourne and
Perth are being affected by people's transportation choices. The rapid increase in population across Australian cities, especially Melbourne and Perth
means that the government is looking for solutions to reduce problems such as raising levels of pollution, congestion and travel time. According to the
Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) the residential population of Greater Melbourne has increased by 2.1% and Greater Perth has increased by 1.6%,
during the period of June 2014 to June 2015 (2017). Consequently, this steep increase in population means that the transport infrastructure in both cities
is being put under increasing pressure. Therefore, to cope with the rising population, both cities have expanded their public transportation network. In
the year of 2015–16 in Perth, 6,850 Transperth train services were run weekly (Public Transport Authority 2017) and in Melbourne there are over
2,200 week day services and more than 3000 services during the weekends (Metro Trains Melbourne 2017).
As seen in the graph above, both Perth and Melbourne are showing strong trends of growth. Furthermore, the steep incline in Perth from 2007 can be
explained by the opening of the Mandurah train line in 2007. From 2006, Melbourne is showing a rapid growth, this is because in the 2006
Commonwealth games occurred in Melbourne (Changing Transport 2012). Moreover, both cities also experienced population growth therefore this
may account for the public transport growth. Private transportation such as cars are very popular with the Australian public. Around 76% of all
vehicles accounted for in 2013 were passenger vehicles (ABS 2014). Cars have become increasingly affordable and offer greater mobility therefore
more Australians are choosing them over public transportation (ABS 2014). By analysis Australian Bauru of Statistics data social research company

Jetstar Essay
Executive Summary
Jetstar Airways is an Australia low–cost carrier airline based in Melbourne, Australia. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Qantas Group. Qantas
established Jetstar in 2003 as a response to main competitor airline Virgin Australia (formerly known as Virgin Blue).
Despite its low cost, Jetstar operates an extensive domestic network and is the world's largest long–haul low cost carrier. Jetstar operates to destinations
in Asia the Pacific Ocean, with future plans of expanding their services throughout Europe.

Jetstar shares its parent's strong competition with Australia's biggest low–cost carrier Virgin Australia. Domestic travel accounts for 75% of the airline
industry revenue in Australia (Taylor Woodings, 2011)
Market Potential
The market is currently in the decline stage. From 2007, Australian domestic air travel started with buoyant demand for air travel and high fuel prices
boosted ticket prices. However, domestic airlines faced major hurdles when the global economic downturn hit. Higher unemployment and a decline in
discretionary income slowed demand for air travel in Australia. In particular, business travellers abandon air travel in favour of teleconferences and
e–mail. Demand also weakened as Australians have started to plan travelling internationally.
Market Structure
The domestic flights market can be considered as an oligopoly. The 3 main companies that have the most market share are Virgin Australia, Jetstar and
Tiger Airways Australia.
Trends
Demographic:
Australia is an underpopulated country and is also an ageing. However, over the years the numbers of migrants have been increasing. With the rising
number of migrants, there will most likely be an increase in the number of domestic flights demanded since they may want to visit other cities

Qantas managed to outweigh its competitor by gaining a toll of 65% compared to its competitor. Evidently this shows Qantas is the number one

In 2011, Qantas suffered complications from inside and outside the brand. Several job cuts and structural changes, their focus on returns to stock
holders and not its responsibilities to the share – holders all added to their external issues. The external issues that rose were the increase of new
competitors, changes in consumer decision making, the high demand of customers for lower rates and better quality. Lastly, Australians began their
international travels with other international brands. 2016 has proven to be a turnaround year for Qantas relying largely on the lowered prices of oil
and the falling Australian currency. Qantas recovered from a $2.8 billion loss in 2014 to a net profit of $688 million within six months. The
turnaround has been described as "one of the most remarkable in history"
Qantas's strengths lies in their loyal customer base, strong distribution channels, their commitment to the environment, brand recognition and their high
quality service. Despite all their recent issues Qantas is still proving to be one of the trusted brands that is committed to excellent service.
The weakness of Qantas lies in the management and their lack of investment in their employees. The management weakness can be seen in many of the

Actually, no. The Guardian has presented this issue in a surprisingly different light, almost explicitly revealing the sheer empathy towards the homeless
and their given situation. By placing inverted commas around "cleanup" in the headline "Melbourne city council denies homeless camps 'cleanup'
linked to Australian Open", this is implying that it was not in any way a clean–up, but rather a pure demolition of their homes. Just below the headline
is an image of Flinders Street Station beaming with a vibrant yellow at night time. The Guardian wants these two mediums to radiate with us; to
encourage us to still view Melbourne as a very aesthetically pleasing city while denouncing the actions of the council removing the homeless from this
glorified urban location.
By planting this seed, the Guardian sees this to their advantage, and begins by showing photographs of the homeless camps being rebuilt after the
police left. This is complemented by the perspective of former homeless man John Kenney explaining that "homelessness is not a choice...the
authorities don't care where they end up, just as long as they go". Do you see it? The selection of information is emotively devised to pressure us to

In the beginning of 1999, the senior executives stated revenues and earnings growth would reach double digits. Many analysts, like Simon Flannery
and Morgan Stanley, questioned Qwest on how the company foresaw such high projections in a downturned economy. It became apparent, in
mid–1999, that the market for telecommunications was declining, resulting in Qwest revenue not growing as projected. Qwest sold IRUs,
indefeasible rights of use, in Commission filings and press releases as "principal assets". Gregory M. Casey was responsible for all IRU sales and
was Qwest's EVP of the Wholesale Business Unit at the time. With not reaching projected revenues, Qwest began to "fill the gap" between its actual
and projected revenue to show growth. Overall, Qwest would sell equipment to another telecommunications providers and then buy the same type of
equipment at the same price. This resulted in a net zero balance for transaction, but Qwest recorded these "swapped" sales as revenue. Booking these
transactions, virtually increased Qwest's growth and revenue, resulting in higher stock prices. On February 25, 2003, the Justice Department accused

These really improved the convenience of flying. So, the aircraft is becoming the main means of transport.
3.1.2 Economic
After a financial crisis turned into the economic crisis, Qantas Airways Limited will inevitably be affected. Today, global enterprises had to reduce
spending in all areas; to reduce business travel is the preferred one (Bonn & Rundle–Thiele, 2007; Greve, Nielsen, & Ruigrok, 2009). International Air
Transport Association recently published data show that in December last year, the year–on–year passengers in business class and first class reduced
by13.3%. In January this year, Asia–Pacific business class passengers fell by nearly 24 percent and business class passengers in Europe decreased by
22.2%, respectively. It was a big blow to the aviation industry (Graham, 2009).
3.1.3 Legal–political
The Australian government is taking measures to help Qantas Airways Limited to tide over the difficulties.British Airways and Qantas Airways
Limited are considering a potential merger, which is considered the most ambitious initiatives in accelerating the integration process of world 's
aviation industry (Duval, 2008). It was a truly global airline step, because the two sides' route network coverage matched well. If the two companies
successfully merged, the two sides will reduce the waste of resources brought about by coincidence, by the combined route network expansion, in a
number of key revenue synergies and will further consolidate the

Using Porters Five Forces Framework illustrate these five forces for your organisation, and provide brief comments on how these forces they influence your organisation's profit potential.

Tiger airlines introduction has inescapably threatened Jetstar's future revenue, so much so that Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce said that "Jetstar was seeing that, so to be competitive at the leisure end we believed Jetstar needed to have direct Melbourne Tullamarine to Sydney services complementing its Avalon operations, assuring that profitable market stays with the group and it's not lost to our low–cost competitorsВґ (Creedy 2009). Threat of New Entry Low to Moderate A new entrant means competitor undermining the profits (Aarons, Waalewijn, 1999, pg4) of Jetstar, which is an established business. Therefore, threat in the future for Jetstar is determined by present barriers to entry. The biggest factor that prevents a newcomer entry in this industry is the cost of entry. The airline industry is one of the most expensive industries, due to the cost of buying and leasing aircrafts, safety and security measures, customer service and manpower (http://www.investopedia.com/features/industryhandbook/airline.asp, March 25, 2011). Other factors include high capital cost and government restrictions. Deregulation of the Australian Domestic airline market and realisation of Virgin Blue taking over the Domestic Market helped the formation of Jetstar in 2004 which was followed by birth of Tiger Airways in 2007.

VEGETATION DISCUSSION HISTORICAL FIRE REGIME LIGHTNING Before Aboriginal and European settlement, lightning was the primary natural source of fire, especially in tropical parts of Australia (Kohen, 1996). These lightning–caused bushfires have drastically shaped the landscape and its vegetation. Plants have developed different adaptations to tolerate these fires and in turn contributed to the natural diversity in the area. The Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans) trees growing in forests east of Melbourne are great examples of a tree species adapted to bushfires. These trees are usually killed by intense fire but their seeds germinate fast in the ash bed left behind by the fire (Museum Victoria, n.d.). The city of Melbourne historically had a mix of grass, scrub, and trees in its landscape due to its relatively flat terrain and its low elevation. Like the rest of the state of Victoria, lightning has played an important role in shaping ecosystems and affecting different vegetation types. ABORIGINAL FIRES Fire events have increased ever since the Aboriginals have occupied the landscape about 40,000 years ago (Lindenmayer & Burgman, 2005). They used fire to their advantage and helped change the landscape in addition to lightning. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

A functional, western style democracy, there are a number of minor political parties operating in Australia but the country's federal politics is an essential 2–party system at present, much like the United States (Our Country, 2015). Power in Australia is shared between various levels of government, the Federal, State and territorial.

Nearly half of Australia's trade activity in terms of imports and exports are with these 5 countries alone. Particularly with the recent growth of the Chinese economy, Australia's chief trading partner, the country has seen growth in its exports. However very recently the growth of the Chinese economy has been slowing which is a risk to Australian exports. 72% of Australia's two–way trade is within the APEC countries. Like the G20, this trade relationship is quite significant. Australia's single top import is personal travel services, however overall most of what Australia imports is petroleum products and motor vehicles. It's appetite for refined petroleum increased by 12% over the past 5 years. Australia's top exports are its natural resources, iron ores, coal and natural gas. (Australian Government: Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, 2014) Since 2012, Australia has maintained a mostly negative trade balance, perhaps amid uncertainty of its currency against the US dollar, but more likely is its economic growth is causing it to import more and more petroleum products which it's exports of its own natural resources is not able to match.

For approximately the past 20 years, since the deregulation of the Australian Aviation industry, the Australian Domestic Market has been profitable. The past half year has brought to light the first negative effects of fierce competition between Australia's airlines the Qantas group and Virgin Australia Holdings Pty Ltd (VAH) (which will be further referred to in this document as Virgin Australia) in the form of loss which can be seen in the below figure.

Accompanied by record high fuel prices, maintenance and labor costs, Australia's domestic airlines face a turning point in the industry's history. All of Australia's top 10 most competitive routes increased in the year ending in 2014 with an average increase of 6.17% of total passengers carried. With such a high growth of travelling passengers in the top 10 city pairs over a single year demand, can definitely be ruled out as the reason of the loss to break 20 years of Industry profit. The market for domestic airfares have been changed significantly in the past as Virgin Blue introduced their new business class ticket and removal of their full economy fares, this resulted in the full economy index rising substantially. In 2011, as Virgin Australia introduced their new flexi fares that were substantially lower priced than their previous fare. This disrupted the market as Qantas as a competitor quickly responded by dropping their Flexi Saver fares on the same routes. This drop in fares by both major competitors resulted in a detrimental drop in the Restricted Economy index, as seen in figure 1. This drop also directly resulted in both airlines generating less a smaller revenue per ASK. The main reason for the loss in the Australian Domestic Market is quite simple from a numerical ...

Included in this report is a history of the planning of the bridge, the events that lead to the collapse, as well as the collapse itself and how it happened.

The new contractors were very experienced at working with concrete, but lacked the knowledge and experience with working with steel. Because of this, John Holland only took on the work on the basis of a labour management contract, which puts them in charge of the labour, but all the engineering decisions were still up to World Service & Constructions. This lead to confusion and lack of communication between the parties working on the construction of the bridge. Four months prior to the collapse, a similar design of bridge, also designed by Freeman Fox & Partners, collapsed in Milford Haven, Wales, killing four workers. Understandably, there was a lot of industrial unrest on the construction site of the Westgate Bridge, although workers had been assured by Freeman Fox & Partners that the design of the Westgate was perfectly safe, but was not supported by any relevant or sufficient calculations. IV.THE COLLAPSE During the construction, two half–spans being assembled 50 meters above ground level had a misalignment of 4.5 inches or 114mm in camber. It was suggested by John Holland & Constructions to use a kentledge to weigh down the higher section of bridge. It so happened that they had ten, eight tonne concrete blocks on site.

The airports in major cities around the world are also operated on a monopoly basis and therefore are able to charge airlines high fees. The above examples have showed that the bargaining power of supplies for the airline industry is considerably large and often play an important role in the operations and level of profitability amongst the airlines. Rivalry among the Existing Players: The level of competition between the airlines is very high. One reason for this is the increase in popularity of low–cost airlines, who employ innovative business models to differentiate themselves and drive the profitability of their businesses. Another reason is attributable to the nature of operation of the airlines – the marginal cost of having extra passengers on a scheduled flight is close to zero, which implies that airlines are capable of varying the price of air tickets from time to time, or even engaging in price wars with their rivals. For instance, the recently banned operation of Tiger Airways has created opportunity for two other major domestic airlines in Australia, Jetstar and Virgin Blue, to increase prices in order to take advantage of the less competitive environment and to increase their market shares.

  • 23. Transportation Advantages And Disadvantages The type of transport that an individual uses daily not only affect themselves, but also the wider community. There are many factors that are likely to affect how an individual makes decisions. Some decisions are made rationally, others are not. In the past decade, both cities of Greater Melbourne and Perth are being affected by people's transportation choices. The rapid increase in population across Australian cities, especially Melbourne and Perth means that the government is looking for solutions to reduce problems such as raising levels of pollution, congestion and travel time. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) the residential population of Greater Melbourne has increased by 2.1% and Greater Perth has increased by 1.6%, during the period of June 2014 to June 2015 (2017). Consequently, this steep increase in population means that the transport infrastructure in both cities is being put under increasing pressure. Therefore, to cope with the rising population, both cities have expanded their public transportation network. In the year of 2015–16 in Perth, 6,850 Transperth train services were run weekly (Public Transport Authority 2017) and in Melbourne there are over 2,200 week day services and more than 3000 services during the weekends (Metro Trains Melbourne 2017). As seen in the graph above, both Perth and Melbourne are showing strong trends of growth. Furthermore, the steep incline in Perth from 2007 can be explained by the opening of the Mandurah train line in 2007. From 2006, Melbourne is showing a rapid growth, this is because in the 2006 Commonwealth games occurred in Melbourne (Changing Transport 2012). Moreover, both cities also experienced population growth therefore this may account for the public transport growth. Private transportation such as cars are very popular with the Australian public. Around 76% of all vehicles accounted for in 2013 were passenger vehicles (ABS 2014).

Domestic travel accounts for 75% of the airline industry revenue in Australia (Taylor Woodings, 2011) Market Potential The market is currently in the decline stage. From 2007, Australian domestic air travel started with buoyant demand for air travel and high fuel prices boosted ticket prices. However, domestic airlines faced major hurdles when the global economic downturn hit. Higher unemployment and a decline in discretionary income slowed demand for air travel in Australia. In particular, business travellers abandon air travel in favour of teleconferences and e–mail. Demand also weakened as Australians have started to plan travelling internationally. Market Structure The domestic flights market can be considered as an oligopoly. The 3 main companies that have the most market share are Virgin Australia, Jetstar and Tiger Airways Australia. Trends Demographic: Australia is an underpopulated country and is also an ageing. However, over the years the numbers of migrants have been increasing. With the rising number of migrants, there will most likely be an increase in the number of domestic flights demanded since they may want to visit other cities Economic: Australia currently has the strongest economy in the

The Guardian has presented this issue in a surprisingly different light, almost explicitly revealing the sheer empathy towards the homeless and their given situation. By placing inverted commas around "cleanup" in the headline "Melbourne city council denies homeless camps 'cleanup' linked to Australian Open", this is implying that it was not in any way a clean–up, but rather a pure demolition of their homes. Just below the headline is an image of Flinders Street Station beaming with a vibrant yellow at night time. The Guardian wants these two mediums to radiate with us; to encourage us to still view Melbourne as a very aesthetically pleasing city while denouncing the actions of the council removing the homeless from this glorified urban location. By planting this seed, the Guardian sees this to their advantage, and begins by showing photographs of the homeless camps being rebuilt after the police left. This is complemented by the perspective of former homeless man John Kenney explaining that "homelessness is not a choice...the authorities don't care where they end up, just as long as they go".

Many analysts, like Simon Flannery and Morgan Stanley, questioned Qwest on how the company foresaw such high projections in a downturned economy. It became apparent, in mid–1999, that the market for telecommunications was declining, resulting in Qwest revenue not growing as projected. Qwest sold IRUs, indefeasible rights of use, in Commission filings and press releases as "principal assets". Gregory M. Casey was responsible for all IRU sales and was Qwest's EVP of the Wholesale Business Unit at the time. With not reaching projected revenues, Qwest began to "fill the gap" between its actual and projected revenue to show growth.
