    Crean is an old boy of my high school, I might pop him a question about this. I'm very surprised by this, but Hansard doesn't lie.

    This confirms what I have been saying all along. I never thought I would agree with Crean. I stand corrected.

    That was a large part the original concept, subsequently expanded to cover future needs.

    Sure people will buy other assets, there may be a capital devaluation of FF dividend paying shares (resulting in higher yield) but people and institutions will still own them. Govt will still achieve significant revenue from removing excess franking refunds. Flooding into A-Reits will result in prices up and yield down. US dividend payers with 15% withholding tax looks better, just need to deal with currency.

    Did you get an answer? I would be very interesting to know the reasoning behind their change of position on this.
