As to whatever they say, fair enough, it may be their show, but surely our job as legislators, as in states all around the world, is to act in these matters. This is not the first time we have seen the private market create something from which the State then benefits but that we are not able to regulate or control. This is a fundamental shift, which, depending on one's perspective, could be as significant as the industrial revolution or that is, at least, the language being used. Is Dr. McQuillan of the view that the State is currently incapable of providing some level of control? Is that his concern?
