Little Johnny recently tried to flog off the Snowy River Hydro Project - needs a fortune spent (which hasn't been done up to now!) to upgrade/maintain it you see....

Boy oh Boy! Did the shit hit the fan with that idea!

All those Govt members in Country seats got a severe attack of the Election Collywobbles.... dropped the idea like a hot potato...

Incidentally, the Sydney Harbour Tunnel (anyone wanna buy a second hand bridge, cheap?) has caused a ruckus - built by private contractors, with an enormous fee, the Govt closed off lots of bypass roads and the traffic ground to a standstill as people protested by refusing to use it.

Got so bad, that not only did the owners try a 'free period' (great success while it lasted), but the Aussie Accountants Society did a TV ad, with a shot of almost no cars entering the tunnel and the words "never underestimate the importance of numbers".
