i guess the positive is that we are a long way off seeing the Qld assets put up for sale - huge fight looming today within the Labor party ranks up here.

plenty of internal and external opposition to govt asset sales.

another positive would be if the sale of the Qld ports goes ahead - gives the potential owner of Asciano a chance to expand their monopoly of the ports.

hopefully this uncertainty won't be the spanner in the works and delay the process further
