I agree with you Frank.
What Company doesn't try to influence events ... for it's (and its shareholder's) benefit?
What Government doesn't try to influence events ... for it's (and its constituents') benefit?
What Organisation doesn't try to influence events ... for it's (and its membership's) benefit?
What Trade Union doesn't try to influence events ... for it's (and its members') benefit?
What Individual doesn't try to influence events ... for his or hers own benefit?
That's all part of how our world works.
That's not saying that some of those groups are more successful at it than others, or that some have more resources available to help them do it. That's just the reality.
For a Government Treasurer to imply that this natural process in "naughty", beggars belief.
