Not sure I understand, Chris -
We have NOTHING like that here in the States - especially these days (except for stadiums that house billionaire-owned sports teams - paid for by tax dollars - that's the only form of Socialism allowed here). Nearly all of OUR polly-tishuns are former Lawyers, whose integrity is absolutely NOT to be questioned. The few PollutocRats and Oilogarchs who have wormed their way into the festering swamp of our Federal Gummint will dry up and blow away as soon as the cesspool is drained – which is sure to begin happening any day now . . .

p.s Was KiwiRail formerly known as 'TollRail' or 'TrollRail'? If the latter, you may have more in common with the C&TS than you realized - see [ngdiscussion.net], for example.
