Unfortunately you are correct. We are living in a world where governments are becoming more and more despotic. They are losing sight of their purview, which is to represent the will of the majority of the people, and instead are attempting to force the will of the leaders onto the people. Selling off public assets etc., to cover shortfalls caused by lack of foresight or bad planning. They are merely caretakers of assets owned by the people, but regard them as a source of quick cash. The new carbon tax is a good example. All surveys show that the majority of people are against it, but our Prime Minister has introduced it anyway. Of course she will be out of office soon and would have been well aware of that when she made the decision.
