We miss you Andrew.

It looks to me like MT is against it just because the Government is for it! I am not commited either way at the moment on this issue and am certainly not a great supporter of the current government but I am really annoyed at the whole tennis match approach to politics that we see in both houses. IF a thing is good then it is good. To berate it for the sake of political debate is irresponsible and ego serving and risks the public missing out on something which may be a benefit. It would be refreshing if Mr T said "Great Idea KR"... assuming it really is of course. As you say AB, don't they make the laws the judges have to enforce?
