Fed: Future Fund doesn't want to run Telstra - chairman=2

Mr MURRAY says the fund hasn't yet decided how to sell the shares .. but says they
won't sell them quickly and recklessly .. because it would wreck the fund's value.

The government's already directed the fund not to begin selling shares for two years.

The former Commonwealth Bank chief says he's somewhat sympathetic towards Telstra's
current frustrations with government regulation.

But he says the Future Fund won't publicly weigh into such debates.
