Description
The scourge of privatisation of public assets has been a critical part of the neoliberal offensive launched over the past 40 years in the capitalist world. In Australia the most corrupt and ruthless neoliberal regime at present is the Coalition state government in NSW.
It is selling off massive amounts of public assets — including the power industry, roads, health facilities, forests, the Land Titles Office, public museums such as the Powerhouse in inner Sydney, and so on.
This pamphlet tells the story of this privatisation mania, focussing on the federal and NSW spheres, and also of the growing resistance from unions, the public and community organisations to the sell-off of the people’s property
