A majority vote by 1% is not enough to make change. A miner party there to make money has the ability to generate higher prices. If they could not then why buy in to a government run company that can run at 0% profit

No, only if the company constitution or bylaw requires a greater than mere majority of voting shares to make a change does the situation you are claiming exist. That is simply not the case - the government will be retaining the controlling share as they have stated since before the last election. So clearly there is no such requirement in the company documents.

The government is keeping 51% to make it look like they are not selling out and lose votes for it. At the end of the day they will be the biggest owner but they dont have the control like you think.
Wait for the power price to go up then tell me we have full control

What a laugh. 10% will get you a Director on the Board in some corporations. 20% is considered 'significant influence' and carries with it the opportunity to appoint multiple Directors. Wake up.

Directors are the Governance of Corporations!

You believe whatever left wing propaganda you like, as you clearly do, but you're still wrong. Control will remain entirely in the hands of the Government of the day through their >50% voting shareholding.

YOU are wrong. You do not know what you are talking about.
I used to be Right Wing to the bone. However over the last 15 or so years I have spent a lot of time with mature wealthy people, travelled overseas, and acquired a First Class Honours Degree in Accounting. I can assure you I am now a Lefty to the bone.
Wake up.
