		Gelling, a bluff, warm, approachable man in his early 60s, began his working life in the motor and heavy construction equipment business.
		Gelling feels the system means both parliamentarians and ministers have to work a lot harder on projects because "they have to sway the middle ground rather than sitting back and not caring because they have a huge majority" - no doubt a discreet reference to the reality in Tony Blair's "New Labour" government in Britain.
		He is clearly unhappy at the failure of some international observers to distinguish between offshore jurisdictions in terms of the quality of their stewardship of their own affairs and a tendency to lump them all together under the general stereotype of "tax haven,” which he clearly dislikes.
