I wonder if CBR subsidised it too
They most certainly have. Not sure of the exact arrangement though.

It's been openly reported that the ACT Government has opened the purse strings on their annual overseas tourism promotion budget for a targeted offensive into Singapore but they couldn't have helped with offsetting any of the airfield fees as they don't have any control over them.
They could help with offsetting the airfield fees by just paying the airport on SQ's behalf... I recall reading though that Canberra Airport may be involved in subsidising it, but I can't remember the source.

When you think about it, using the VA lounge would be sensible. It's not as if there will be hindered of passengers on heaps of international flights trying to get through immigration and security around the start of boarding. In fact not terribly different to the situation at Changi with gate based security, but in all likelihood a much shorter walk to the gate than Changi.
Speaking of which: anybody here going to be on the inaugural? We should set up in our own corner of the Virgin Australia lounge!
I am assuming that if you have no VA status, even if flying SQ business class, you won't get access to the VA lounge.But I can see most CBR-SIN flyers simply waiting it out at the Virgin Australia lounge, getting the boarding call and then moseying downstairs and straight onto the flight.
