forget the debt...the government has enough in their coffers already to 
pay of debt if they wanted to.

...but do you think having a half privatised entity is in your best 
interests...what we have now is a half political half financial 
organisation....to whom is Telstra accountable now?

...this is the point I was trying to  make we need to
differente voters/citizens (the term public is too nebulous and 
consumers is offensive)
from taxpayers (some of whom are companies not to mention telstra 
itself) as current stakeholders in Telstra.

As we don't know the deal on T3 or the date for the next federal 
election...there is a lot of posturing and putting flags up poles.
