Disco,

I'll have a go at answering your questions:

1. Me. I get 9500 Rupiah for my dollar. It was 6400 in 2004. That's an extra 50%!

2. Costa got it right. The banks wouldn't agree to pass on the whole rate cut so RBA thought the money was better off with them than fat cat CEO's who outsource Aussie jobs to cheap labour countries.

3. None that will be recognisable to us mere mortals. It won't get regulatory approval anyway. These mega deals with remote chance of approval always spring up at highs. Remember Qantas. It got a temporary reprieve until the little leprechaun came to finish it off anyway.

4. Some advertiser will jump on it for sure. Mega bucks.

Cheers,

Chris.
