Why shouldn't they? They have now assured that the feather bedding, the
inefficiencies, and all the existing problems will continue to exist. All
threat of competition in Infrastructure has been removed and it will
'business as usual' for the unions. The fact that NSW will continue to have
an outmoded railway, operating on 19th century technologies does not
concern them in the least. The road transport industry will be laughing as
they place bigger, heavier trucks on the road.
