Hi Andrew,
I could not agree more. I believe the Victorian power "system" is a perfect example of where the privatisation zealots have created an inefficient nightmare. I simply don't believe this has led to any benefit to the Victorian public whatsoever, in fact quite the opposite. As you say, it has benefited overseas companies AND governments....my distributor Ausnet Services is owned by the Singapore Government.
I believe that essential services like power are a natural monopoly which should not be in the hands of private industry.
