In this crazy disco of modern life, we know that it takes two to tango.

So, who are the Big Cats on the dancefloor, and what kind of moves are they a-busting?

State Government;Selling Victoria by the Pound

The State Government's conduct is reprehensible in it's failure to represent the interests of the Victorian people and follow a democratic process.

Here how:

  • They have offered enthusiastic and public support of this proposal without any visible consultation with the Victorian people about what they want to do with this land bequeathed to them by a former Government.

  • They have provided no evidence of their demand for either an environmental impact statement OR a feasibility study.

  • They have effected silence orders on any stakeholder opposing the proposal.

  • Their persistant attempts to sell State assets to private concerns shows a worrying lack of regard for future beneficiaries.


And then there's Village Roadshow.
Opportunistic carnivores
How do we interpret their conduct?

Are they just behaving like a corporation?

Should we be criticising them for aggressive, self serving behaviour?

Should fiscal responsibility to their shareholders and the laws of the land in which they operate be the only things mitigating their self interest?

Should the same standards of ethical or socially responsible behaviour apply to For-Profit organisations as they do for - well, you or me? Or Government for that matter. Hmm. There's a thought...

Should we expect them to have a soul?

OK, that last one's gimme.

But the take home point is, due process appears to have gotten held up at the bank and never actually arrived.
