I, and also on behalf of Senator Farrell, move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that:

(i) public services in South Australia, this time the transport system, are under attack from privatisation, and

(ii) privatisation of essential services has an adverse effect on South Australians, with services becoming more expensive and less reliable – electricity prices increased when the Electricity Trust of South Australia was privatised in 1999, as well as bus fares increasing after privatisation in recent years; and

(b) calls on the South Australian Liberal Government to reconsider its move to privatise Adelaide Metro trains and trams.
