Public opinion means all... Heritage is not always a seen thing so its piecemeal.
I liken it to a jigsaw being made from small pieces over a long period of time. Trouble with this is that its never the same person making it so the picture and the priorities get easily distorted. You end up with the dogs dinner rather than a fantastic picture to be admired by all! Sorry to seem so negative, but track records dictate! Still we can live in hope.
If all sectors of archaeology and heritage got together and whispered, the sound would be loud enough to hear.
If, however, all sectors of archaeology and heritage got together and shouted, there would be no doubt what public opinion was.

Just imagine that and a bit of education of the rest of the public and nobody could ignore us.
Then again we could just sit back and watch the mess happen and let them keep their track records. [:0]
Change is never easy it takes hard work and commitment. [:p]
