i like how they put "cwb should have no role in marketing barley" towards a vote for choice when choice here means a choice between private or CWB... so if pro-CWB is a 'vote against choice' then so is anti-CWB. no mention is given of the vote that they already had when 8/10 representatives voted to keep it... (and the other 5 were appointed by the government...which makes a total of 8 to 7 who are pro-CWB... and 8 to 2 if we count people who actually got to vote). choice is such a powerful word in our times, yet so completely empty... call a spade a spade. Pro-Crown or Pro-Privatization. There is no middle ground, we know when there is an option to have both that privatization always voids out viability of public entitities... there is no real "choice" in either... the only choice is the choice whether they want public or private and they've already voted for public.
thank you! it's like they leave choice up to you, but they are the arbiters of what there is to choose from. id est: you want to choose whether to have CWB market it or to market it yourself? great. you want choice, you have choice. the choice of what private method you want to use to sell your grain. given that CWB is public, would the conservative government really be able to justify competing with the private sphere. how long will "choice" last?
in fact, if they are to get rid of the single barley desk, if they kept the CWB in the barley marketing business, wouldn't they be hypocrites? then not only would i not agree with them, they wouldn't agree with themselves. so even though only 13.8% wanted full disbanding of the board, would the conservative ideology not demand that they disband the board if it wasn't the sole marketer? they would have gotten their way regardless, probably have some more plebiscites, slur the board some more. the usual.
