That’s what we like to see. If only some of GG’s colleagues could show the same restraint, especially on accommodation. And that is definitely an economy seat.
Let me be the first to state that I am a PLP supporter and I don’t like Grant Gibbons for reasons that I wont get into BUT I must say that he has gained a teeny bit of respect from me because I was on that flight and I can confirm that it was indeed an economy seat as he was seated just a few seats in front of me,not far away from the back of the plane. It actually looked a little awkward being the smartly dressed man that he is,he stood out like a sore thumb. for that Mr Gibbons,kudos to you!
I truly believe they are not in it for the money but to get OUR COUNTRY back on its feet. Greed for money can really take over real fast if you don’t keep an eye on it. Keep it up OBA.
