  1. The old boy at the end is a bit of an anarchist. You can't allow a private individual (even 100 of them) to block e.g. a much needed cross country railway service, or some other piece of critical infrastructure. He'll receive the market rate for his business, and he can open another shop half a mile away with the proceeds from the sale. Out of respect, it should be market rate plus 50% for the anguish

  2.  @saltedmutton7269  They're not taking, they're opening up Govt coffers to compensate the property holders under the CPO. It's not like MP's added his business to their investment portfolio 🤣🤣 Representatives are democratically elected, that's the process. You act like they're lords.
