Remember a level playing field—you have competitors in a particular space. We are taking some of the shackles off Qantas, allowing them to better compete against their rivals. If you were true to your word, the logic of your position would be that you would renationalise Qantas; but Ralph Willis belled the cat 20 years ago when he said it was better to put public capital into health, education and welfare than into airlines. That is why Qantas and TAA were sold 20 years ago.
