    What are you on about. Let us get this straight, a private monopoly can be worse than a public monopoly. Inefficiencies remain but you get a quicker service with a public monopoly - how is Telstra these days (you can't even get them out to fix your phone lines within 6 months if you are not in a newly developed suburb - should know: had to put in a compliant to the Obmudsman to get Telstra out to fix the phone line at mum's house, a pensioner, which took 5 months to do). Ask the farmers about the grain rail network in WA - pretty flash since handed over to the private sector. There are war stories on both sides of the ledger. And private monoploies equal price rises - show mean one public monopoly that has become a private monopoly where price has fallen.
