Yes, that is the one, Smurf, since he has no funding for his projects, he now needs to sell off the Port of Melbourne, but has increased the rent to 800%, killing business and jobs.

The Port of Melbourne and the Government of Victoria have been accused of trying the ‘fatten the pig’ for sale by increasing stevedores’ rates by almost 800%, making the Port of Melbourne the single most expensive container port in the world.

I think I have given my thoughts on the public sector, and if anything, I would rather public-private, if we had to.
I agree with you, it is the way it is run, be it private or public, but the unions get ridiculous with this bottomless pit of taxpayer funds.
I remember when we had telecom, one and only, I was thrilled when we got competition.
