    Hold on a sec, weren't we all told that privatisation would lead to cheaper electricity prices? in c/australianpolitics@aussie.zone

    Privatisation is the perfect grift. It always involves some combination of:
    - buying assets for less than they are worth
    - being guaranteed a return
    - being able to run services / assets down while increasing prices
    - being given grants to stay viable once assets start failing
