You have an election (when?) so soon, and members of the House of Reps may be aware of the anger of their constituents?
When did the deregulation start, anyway? Reagan? Clinton?
This is the way we deal with this sort of thing here.
Australia's richest man, Kerry Packer, who lost 40M one night gambling, appeared before the Senate and explained to the senators that he paid no tax and made no apologies for it because he could spend the money much better than they could. When he died we gave him a state funeral, with Russell Crowe officiating. Those are our values.
