Gosh! That brings back memories. That was one of the first online petitions to the Prime Minister and was part of the anti-cuts campaign we (SOW) staged in 2006/7.
Given that there is a body of thought in government that BW's assets should be sold off, we may well be back on the protest trail again soon. Perhaps as soon as the budget on April 22.
