As Canberra becomes increasingly concerned about Telstra's opposition to subsidising rural and regional phone services adn giovernment regulation, the Queensland Nationals are flexing their muscles, drawing lines in the sand, talking tough about their five pillar policy and fingering their political guns.
By all accounts the Nationals see themselves as the effective opposition in the Senate over policy issues such as Telstra, banning compulsory student union, an ethanol mandate, and stem cell research. They stand for something these days. They are back in business.
