This interesting letter was in the Sun Herald:
Dear Sir
Another community-owned icon is about to bite the dust. Queensland Rail National is to be sold-off; Commonwealth Bank, Qantas, State Bank, GIO, NRMA Insurance - we once owned them all & they were substantial publicly-owned assets performing a vital honest broker role for our community.
No doubt our electricity & water infrastructure, schools & hospitals will one by one come under attack from the same lobbyists & corporate opportunists who make mega bucks out of spruiking such deals.
These community assets have been built up over generations of Australians who have fought wars to protect our way of life & they'd be rolling in their graves to see what's become of such icons.
Selling out Australia's future for a few silver coins is not in Australia's best interests.
Yours sincerely
Richard Talbot
