That comes across as having a somewhat sanctimonious tone

Larry is a bit of a broken record on that point.

But you’re clearly in the foreign investment would be a good thing camp. Risking what we’ve got for a gamble on something that could be better but could equally be a lot worse just because you don’t like what we have at the moment.

I’m on the fence about the issue. Probably because I’m not sufficiently dissatisfied with what we’ve got that I’m prepared to throw it away on a chance.
