    Vic, far from being dead the DPPT is continuing the battle to ensure that we NEVER have to fight this fight to stop the port being sold to private equity again.

    Forget the 1606 charter, you are wrong, it no longer has any legal force whatsoever having been written off the statute books by later legislation, it is not even listed by the Privvy Council in their list of extant charters.

    I also have that same letter, which is not the full decision letter, only a precis of the decision. The full letter shows clearly that the status quo is not going to continue. If we continue working today, we will get a good settlement in perpetuity with ownership by and for the community. If we sit back and think it is all over, we will get a private equity settlement in 5 years time and one that we WILL NOT like.

    I suggest that you read ALL the relevant legislation and get hold of the facts properly before trying to lull people into quiet apathy and an eventual private sale under a different government against the overwhelming majority of opinion.
