Dont forget the revenue stream we lose as a result of selling these assets, which eventually puts more pressure on us to pay more in tax to make up the shortfall in addition to the higher prices we have to contend with


Which is a load of crap otherwise no businesses would ever be sold.


Not many businesses would be structured like these government owned assets where they pay an income stream to government in exchange for doing nothing.

Private business change hands for a number of reasons not all good ones.

Just print money. Do away with businesses. This is progress.

Privatisation has always resulted in cheaper prices for the consumer, oh wait , it hasn't .
