I think it is the principal that is important and, IMO, it is important to look at what is in the best interests of this country and her people.
This, of course, is my opinion! Others can have a different opinion!
I think, in the mad rush to privatise everything (I actually blame Keating/Hawke for showing the way), the stoopid Guvnuts did not look at the unintended consequences and the people have been paying a huge price!
