Abstract: Abstract The last decades of the twentieth century and the early years of the new millennium saw a major institutional change in Australia—the horizontal and vertical disaggregation of the majority of its networknetwork utilitiesutilities and the privatization of many of the government-owned enterprises operating in the utilitiesutilities sector. This included the sale (or long-term lease) of electricity, gas, telecommunications, rail, and, in Melbourne, tram assets. This then raises the questions of just why in the past the public utilities were taken into government ownership in the first place, and did they perform well enough to satisfy Australians.
