Gillard has hosed "govt. intervention" down. Also the nurses and firefighters disputes are not being played out on the front page of the paper every second day, so the "public" - or media - don't have the same expectation on govt.

Also the politics of disgruntled travelers are disgruntled voters. Seen the polls lately.....
