The balance is that we should accept that it's private capital and therefore the decisions of a private investor should be the primary consideration. I do not see why it is a matter of public policy what one group of investors thinks compared to another group of investors. I think in a mature economy that's the way it ought to be.
The fact is, in the kind of world in which we live, companies—in order to succeed in whatever line of business they're in—need to have an international focus; they need to be part of much larger value chains and supply chains. They need to have relationships with customers and suppliers around the world that may involve investment in some cases, and in other cases, other kinds of relationships.
I would not suggest that the government should be interfering in those kinds of decisions, that we should charge a group of civil servants in the Department of Industry to second-guess the decision of investors.
Having been a civil servant, I am painfully aware of the inability of civil servants to make those kinds of analyses and decisions. My view is that this should be left to the wisdom of investors who stand to lose or to gain.
