In this day and age, nobody in their right mind is talking about pegging the dollar again and going back to pre 1983 - the pre-float era. I'm amazed that anybody still thinks in these terms.

Not sure I follow. Has anyone actually proposed this on this thread?

Ajax was going on about the travesty of floating the dollar. It might have been on another thread.

Monopolies are never good for consumers, ...

So there should always be more than one of everything?

How many power lines are you prepared to pay to have connected to your house? How many water pipes? How many sewer pipes? How many telecommunications cables?

Clearly, some things are natural monopolies. Should those things be owned by the public or by private entities?

In the example of Telstra, the mind-boggling blunder lay in selling off the natural monopoly "last mile" - the only set of telecommunications wires entering most premises. For that, John Howard deserves to be hung, drawn and quartered.

None of which has much to do with the environment, except that private enterprise seems to have the shortest vision these days (it was not always thus), so governments need to control them firmly to minimise the damage.

... the government is not a business, it never will be and can never handle trying to imitate one. Imo.

If they cannot run a business how on Earth can they run a country......?????

The two are not the same. In fact, as business vision grows more and more short-term, the differences grow.

Government is at its worst when its vision is as short-term as that of business.

Don't you remember muso,

Keating floated our dollar and it was devalued to about 60 cents to the greenback maybe more not sure.

Then all these elite moguls come into Australia and bought up all her CASH COWS for about half price.

Are we smacking stupid or something to let that happen....??

If this was Europe there would have been anarchy in the streets.....????

Like when France (2002...??) lifted the age pensions from 60 to 62, there where riots on the streets, the people where not happy and demonstrated.

When Swan lifted the age pension from 65 to 67 not one person here in Australia said BOO.......!!!!!!!
