| Message | The thing about Commonwealth-Companies operating in an already competitive and well established market is that the Commonwealth has almost unlimited funds at its hands and in effect is anti-competitive and thus unfair for all other companies in the market. The Liberal Conservatives understand that the Government needs to raise more revenue, but this is probably not the right way to go about it. |
