Yeah sure.

The problem is that the linking of the telstra sale to the environment
is simply an ideological ploy. The coalition is intent on privatising
telstra and so have attempted to blackmail the public into this by
linking it to the environment. Not that I am against the sale of
telstra but the linking is a sick arrogant attempt at political
gamesmanship which only reflects a total lack of real concern for the
environment by the conservatives. Apart from anything else, any funds
derived from the sale of telstra will be a one off injection into
environmental funding - what about the next and subsequent years. Will
they start selling off other assets to finance environmental projects.
Really, as far as I am concerned the Australian people deserved the
garbage they voted in - no forethought was shown, just selfish petty
self-interest
