I trust that the council will be sensible enough to keep rare the opt-options on the termbill, and if it isn’t sensible (admittedly a distinct possibility), we can always vote ’em out. And failed logic against HRL would have one believe that since every opt-out-option for every possible objecting group is not structurally possible, it is not fair to allow only one or a few groups...
