Revenues down (because of the nasty foreigners)
Cash reserves down (because the nasty government made them dip into their reserves)
Jetstar International loss (because of the nasty foreign governments protecting their own)
Qantas International loss (because the nasty government allows nasty foreign airlines to carry nasty Australians including that doubly-duplicitous nasty, nasty foreign airline the cuddly kangaroo invited to a barbie)
Jetconnect slight loss (because the nasty kiwis won't listen to the nice cuddly Kangaroo)
Qantas Domestic break-even (because the sweet innocent domestic carrier decided to abandon the nasty capacity war with the nasty foreign-owned domestic competitor)
Jetstar Domestic profit, albeit reduced (because the nasty domestic carrier has a product even worse than anything we can come up with)
Pillar 1: Domestic to continue to drive revenues up through the reduction of capacity whilst reducing the age of the domestic fleet
Pillar 2: Continue the very successful two-brand strategy
Pillar 3: Continue to leverage the very success Galaxy-beating, totally in-synch, wonderous Alliance with our complimentary very-equal, never nasty, foreign Partner (ignore all figures in the Financial Report)
Pillar 4: Reduce costs by selling anything and everything and sacking everyone except AJ who is, after all, the only true-blue Qantas-loving Australian on the planet.
