Re: QR restructure coming?

["Andrew Honan" <ahonan@zipworld.com.au>]

One of the complaints I had of QR was that the royalties from the haulage of
coal went directly to QR, while in NSW it goes to consolidated revenue. QR
used this to develop both the metropolitan as well as the country lines.
I have since been told that this stopped some time ago and royalties go
straight to consolidated revenue.
