Greg Norman promises his employees will go green on Qantas:
I pledge my full support for the Qantas 'Fly Carbon Neutral' program and
have asked that every one of my employees at Great White Shark
Enterprises be carbon neutral on their Qantas flights. Initiatives such
as these will help preserve our environment, and I applaud Qantas for
taking this step and making a difference.
Norman himself, however, is preoccupied with another kind of offset on
his own preferred means of travel:
Norman believes his ex-wife should pay half of a $US16 million ($A17.17
million) tax bill on the jet.
Which jet?
This private, carbon-belching Norman jet, just perfect for a warming
hypocrite
