I've just read Barry and Dan's contributions re
above with great interest.
I think that's an excellent discussion point.
I've wandered to myself how to make coops and esops compatible in a meaningful,
practical and significant way.
In Australia, there is a new group called
Mutuality Australia which I will try and vend in to this discussion. They are
committed to the promotion of coops and third way type ideas.
I'm also going to forward your comments Dan to
some of the high level bureaucrats in my Department of Fair Trading. They
administer registration of coops in this state and I have prompted them to
develop some thoughts on CSOPs in light of our pending competitive electricity
and gas market at all levels including residential. They are keen to set up a
discussion group within the Department on the subject and assuming we come up
with something useful feed it in to the regulation formation
processes.
I'll keep you posted.
Cheers
Tim Mitchell
