  Ed, the only real advocates of privatisation are Dr. Goldfield and his colleagues at DHB. The Peoples Port proposal assumes that the Government has already decided to sell the port and we want to stop control of it passing offshore, and to ensure that in future some of the port revenues are used to benefit the town. If our intervention merely has the effect of making the Government change its mind about selling it, causing it to remain a trust port, then so be it, and we will consider that Job Done. However as long as the Ports Act 1991 remains on the statute book, the issue is likely to resurface regularly in the future.
  
  I apologise if my light-hearted references to dinosaurs, Luddites and the Flat Earth Society have offended anyone, no such offence was intended. Your Masters of the Universe comment proves that you can give as good as you get and I wonder to whom you are referring? And of whom would you consider yourself a reincarnation?
