f) With all this in mind, though, many of the shortcomings of

mind. If you have my NSM, you think "Ahh. So the government can announce
revisions to its own policies, but since it's not Telstra's fault, it can
sell Telstra!"

Which is the way I read it, I have to say. The government can sell Telstra
if it uses the money raised to set up a fund to ensure adequate
telecommunications in the bush?
