The Snowy Mountains scheme was run efficiently by the State for many years.

How do you know other suppliers weren't run efficiently by the State ? They were sold for ideological reasons not because they were under performing.
The state (and i have some some poorly run state businesses and very few outstanding ones) does not have a history of being able to run companies....this realization should not need a ton of facts to back it up...its just common sense. You need some kind of spirit to run a business successfully and efficiently. Common people with no common goal don't usually make good business managers Sir, they have no spirit to keep them engaged. Have you owned or ran a business before? I'm sure you can relate to what i'm saying if you have.
There is a difference between running a business and providing a public service. Electricity is an essential service and so should not be regarded as a business. Hospitals aren't run for profit, neither is the police force or the courts.
If some outsourcing makes these cheaper to run , fine, but the underlying ownership should remain with the taxpayer.

It'll cost you less than $20... or go to your local public library.
Ever heard of a little outfit once called the 'Public Works Dept' ?
During the recent power crises in SA and it's reliance on the Victorian coal fired base load power station, how will SA now stand with the closure in March 2017 of the Victorian coal fired Power station?
Looks like Vic. has pulled the plug on SA and I might add the Greens are rejoicing about the loss of jobs.
Now Victoria is about to spend millions on psychiatry counseling and retraining those who will lose their jobs......OMG.
Is it true, the sacked workers at the Hazelwood coal fired power station will receive on average $330,000 redundancy pay......Unbelievable.........And on top of that they will be offered retraining and psychiatry counseling.
I think the business owners in SA will need psychiatry counseling more so if they keep running out of base load power.
What a mob of crocks these politicians are in the SA and Vic

What the laid off workers get hasn't got anything to do with the price or reliability of electricity.
With the imminent closure of Hazelwood coal fired power station, The Victorian Treasurer admits the price of electricity will rise....What a dumb lot these Labor people are.

The dumb lot are the people who sold off the station in the first place.
That was in 1996, and the Premier at that time was Jeff Kennett.
