The above answers your question, how many more times before you understand?
Much as your offer to inform me about the Minister's position with regard to communitisation of the port intrigues me, I think I'd rather prefer to have such information imparted direct when I or one of the other members of the DPPT board next meet with him and his officials
Read the 1991 Ports Act, it is already official and on the statute books in plain English. That will answer your question on whether the DHB can, if they so desire, make a new privatisation request.
DPPT are not dealing in rumours, the Government has made it plain that they are not satisfied with the status quo and that they want to see a community benefit. DPPT continues to work on delivering a solution that means no future sale and on sale uncertainties and the level of perpetual community benefit that the Government has said that it wants.
By the way you keep getting the date wrong on the decision announcement, which is really undermining any credibility that you think you might still have.
