and can you point us in the direction of those statements
KK,
No, because they were not made in public.
Re: John Sharp --- one and the same, but recent events do not change what happened in 1996 --1999, when he, then Mark Vaile were the relevant ministers --- and Leroy Keith was the CASA CEO & DAS.
That part of the reg. reform program worked, and only upset the diehards in CASA --- the industry was happy.
We know what happened from the time John Anderson became minister, and the "iron ring" in CASA re-asserted itself --- and to a large degree neutered the regs. that went in place in mid-1998.
Tootle pip!!
